- Heat a portion of remaining 2 Tbs olive oil and a portion of butter together in pan on med-high heat. Gently place 3-5 patties in the pan (depending on pan size) and cook until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes) on each side. Add small portion of oil or butter before each flip.
- Repeat Step 5 until all patties are cooked.
- Serve with a lemon wedge, Tabasco or tarter sauce and enjoy!
Notes
These patties are delicious on top of a green salad with Zesty Italian dressing or pair nicely with Jasmine rice and a side salad. Enjoy!
