   • Crack in the eggs and mix well.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
   • Add 4-6 tablespoons of breadcrumbs to bind the mixture.
5. Form and Cook the Patties:
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Form the mixture into small patties.
   • Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the patties hot with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
• Pair with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce.

Cooking Tips:

• Ensure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the vegetables to prevent the patties from becoming too soggy.
