Step cooking
- We rub 250 g of cheese on a coarse grater. The harder the cheese - the better, because it will be easier to grate. And also for these cutlets it is recommended to choose a less salty cheese.
- In a bowl with grated cheese, break 3 eggs and mix well, turning everything into a homogeneous mass. Add a little ground pepper to taste and salt a little.
- Using a grater, grind 400 g of crab sticks and add them to the eggs and cheese. Mix everything again.
- In order for the cutlets not to fall apart, add 4 tbsp to the mass. l sifted flour. We turn everything into a homogeneous mass, stirring well.
- We proceed to the formation of cutlets. It is best to make small cutlets, as they are easier to sculpt and do not fall apart. For convenience, use a regular spoon. Or you can roll up small balls, and then each of them flatten a little.
- We put the pan on the fire and pour a little vegetable oil. It needs to be well warmed up. Dip each cutlet in breadcrumbs and spread in a pan. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side. At the same time, it is better to fry them on a moderate (medium) fire so that they do not burn.
- We put ready cutlets on a plate.
