Quite salty with the parmesan. Will reduce the cheese next time.

My husband is fighting serious illness and I want to give him the most nourishing food I can. These patties are gentle and satisfying. He looks forward to them every day.

Świetny przepis. Cała moja rodzina je te kotlety teraz.

Viola S.

I bake mine rather than fry. Come out well. Good recipe.

I am in Denver. Made a double batch and baked the eggs in a water bath. Works beautifully. My husband loves them cold the next day.

From Ludwigshafen, Germany. Soft and tasty.

I got my inflammation markers from high to normal through diet alone. I had very poor health for years, no energy, hormone issues, early menopause symptoms, bone loss. A nutritionist pointed me toward high-protein whole foods and I started cooking this way. These patties are now part of my weekly rotation. My daughter noticed I looked different before I said anything. My doctor reduced two of my prescriptions. Real food, made carefully, changes everything.

I use a cheese grater for my hard-boiled eggs. Easier on the hands with arthritis. My sister uses this method now too.

Beat cancer twice. Now fighting inflammation with food. Found this recipe three months ago and feel better than I have in years.
