- In the same bowl, grate hard cheese on a coarse grater.
- Cut the greens. You can add garlic if desired.
- Add 2 eggs and mix all the ingredients. Add the third egg if necessary, if the cutlets do not stick together.
- Heat the pan over medium heat. Add vegetable oil and heat it. Pour the breadcrumbs into a plate, form cutlets from all the ingredients and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry cutlets from crab sticks in a pan from two sides until cooked.
- Put the patties on a plate, wait until they cool down a bit, and you can eat! Enjoy your meal!
