Introduction

These Crispy Cabbage and Egg Fritters are a delightful combination of crunchy, tender cabbage, sweet onions, and aromatic garlic bound together with a simple batter.
They’re light yet satisfying and make a great snack, appetizer, or side dish. Serve them hot for the ultimate crispy experience!

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup chopped onions
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. Prep Cabbage Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped onions, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to slightly soften the cabbage.
2. Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then gradually add the flour, stirring until smooth and thick.
3. Combine & Season: Mix the cabbage mixture into the egg batter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Spoon the mixture into the pan and slightly flatten with a spatula to form fritters.
5. Cook: Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain & Serve: Place fritters on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!

Expert Tips for Success

• Drain cabbage well to prevent soggy fritters.
• Add spices like paprika or cumin for extra flavor.
• Use a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet for best crispiness.
• For a lighter version, bake fritters in the oven instead of frying.

Serving Suggestions

These fritters pair perfectly with sour cream, yogurt-based dips, or a sweet chili sauce.
Serve them alongside soups, salads, or as part of a brunch spread.
