Instructions
1. Prepare the Mixture
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 150g (5.3 oz) of minced meat, 20g (0.7 oz) of finely chopped fresh dill, 10g (0.35 oz) of finely chopped green onions, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup (120 ml) of yogurt (or 3 tablespoons), 1/4 cup (30g) of flour (or 2 tablespoons), salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Add Mozzarella:
- Add 100g (3.5 oz) of shredded Mozzarella cheese to the mixture and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
2. Shape the Patties
- Form Patties:
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm. The mixture should yield about 4 patties.
3. Fry the Patties
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the Patties:
- Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The patties should be crisp on the outside and juicy inside.
4. Serve
- Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the patties hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like salad, roasted vegetables, or in a sandwich.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated to avoid tough patties.
- Cook on Medium Heat: Ensure the pan is hot but not too hot, to cook the patties evenly without burning the outside.
- Serve Immediately: These patties are best served hot to enjoy the melted Mozzarella center.
