Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped (optional)
Oil or butter for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture: In a skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese (if using), sautéed onions and garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh herbs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the Cutlets: Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Coat the Cutlets: Dredge each patty in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Cutlets: In a large skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Fry the cutlets in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve: Serve the cutlets hot with a side of sour cream or garlic sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
