Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth and frothy.
Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir together until the mixture is well combined and slightly thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Using a spoon, scoop a portion of the egg mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and carefully drop it into the skillet, forming small, round patties. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
Serve warm as is, or alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
