Egg cutlets

Egg cutlets are an unusual dish of European cuisine that stems from the traditions of using simple yet hearty ingredients. They evoke a sense of home comfort and childhood flavors. Tender cutlets made from boiled eggs, herbs, and semolina have a soft texture and pleasant creamy taste due to the addition of sour cream. Fried to a golden crust, they acquire an appetizing crunch on the outside while remaining airy inside. Ideal as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to vegetables, fresh bread, or a light sauce. This is a great option for breakfast or a light dinner that cooks quickly and delights with its simplicity and sophistication. Egg cutlets are appreciated for their versatility: they can be served hot or cold and used as a base for sandwiches and snacks.
