Instructions
In a bowl combine couscous, salt, pepper, chives and eggs.
2 cups cooked couscous,
¼ teaspoon salt,
¼ teaspoon pepper,
1 Tablespoon fresh chives or fresh parsley,
2 whole eggs
Fold in cheddar cheese.
½ cup cheddar cheese
Form couscous mixture into patties.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Place half of the couscous patties in hot pan.
1 Tablespoon oil
Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove from heat and repeat with remaining patties. Use additional oil if needed.
Notes
For consistent sized patties, use a small scoop. I used a #40 scoop which holds about 1 ½ tablespoons.
Push the mixture into the scoop so it holds together
Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Just until they are nicely browned.
Cook in batches so your pan isn't overcrowded
