These Crispy Cabbage and Egg Patties are a simple, budget-friendly breakfast made with fresh cabbage, eggs, garlic, and a few basic seasonings. They turn golden and crisp on the outside while staying tender and flavorful inside.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup lightly packed cabbage, finely shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or green onions
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage and place it in a large bowl.
Add the beaten eggs, minced garlic, flour, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Heat the butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon portions of the cabbage mixture into the hot skillet and gently shape them into small patties.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
Make sure the cabbage is finely shredded so the patties hold together well. If the mixture seems too wet, add another tablespoon of flour.
For extra flavor, add a little paprika, grated Parmesan, chili flakes, or shredded cheese.
Serving Suggestions
