Description

These Cabbage & Egg Breakfast Fritters are golden and crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside, and incredibly satisfying. Made with simple vegetables, eggs, and pantry staples, they come together fast and are perfect for a daily breakfast that’s both comforting and nourishing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage

  • 1 cup grated carrot

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, mozzarella or cheddar)

  • 3–4 tbsp all-purpose flour (or oat flour)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)

  • 2–3 tbsp oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables
    Place cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and squeeze gently to release excess moisture.

  2. Mix batter
    Add carrots, green onions, eggs, cheese (if using), flour, pepper, and garlic. Mix until well combined. Batter should be thick but spoonable.

  3. Shape fritters
    Scoop spoonfuls and gently shape into small logs or patties.

  4. Cook
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook fritters 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Serve
    Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

Notes

  • Texture should be moist but not wet. Add a little more flour if needed.

  • Cheese adds richness but is optional.

Tips for Best Results

  • Squeeze cabbage well to avoid soggy fritters.

  • Cook on medium heat so they brown evenly.

  • For extra crispiness, let batter rest 5 minutes before frying.

  • Flip gently to keep them intact.
