**Cottage Cheese Patties**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups cottage cheese
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the cottage cheese mixture into small patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should be able to make around 8 patties, depending on the size you prefer.
3. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dip each patty into the flour, coating both sides lightly. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each floured patty into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
5. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the Cottage Cheese Patties warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an added touch of creaminess.
