Method

  1. Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, spring onion, lemon zest, mustard powder and parsley with the yolks and plenty of seasoning. If the mixture is a little stiff add a splash of milk, it should be stiff but spoonable. Whisk the egg whites and fold them in.
  2. Heat a little oil with a knob of butter in a large frying pan, add the mixture in spoonfuls (do this in batches if your pan is small). Fry until golden and then turn over to cook the other side. They need about 5-6 minutes in all to make sure the middles are cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with a spicy tomato or onion relish.

    These were great for brunch and surprisingly light (I used Japanese panko instead of normal breadcrumbs.) The taste of lemon was a little overpowering for me so I might only use 3/4 of the amount specified next time.

    These were very simple and tasty, I found it needed rather more than a splash of milk though!
