Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
-
Beat Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy and well-mixed.
-
Add Ingredients: Add the grated parmesan cheese, finely chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic to the beaten eggs. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Heat Olive Oil: In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure that the oil coats the pan evenly, swirling it around twice.
-
Fry Egg Cakes: Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the egg batter into the pan. Allow them to fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Flip them over halfway through cooking.
-
Puff Up: As you cook the egg cakes, you’ll notice them start to puff up slightly, indicating that they’re cooking to perfection.
-
Serve: Once both sides are golden brown and the egg cakes are cooked through, remove them from the pan and serve them hot.
Serving Suggestions:
These savory Egg Cakes pair wonderfully with pasta and a flavorful tomato sauce. You can also serve them alongside a fresh salad or as part of a brunch spread with crusty bread and assorted toppings.
