Crispy Cabbage and Egg Fritters – Light, Golden, and Packed with Flavor!
These fritters are crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and make a deliciously quick lunch or snack. Loaded with shredded cabbage and eggs, they’re simple yet incredibly satisfying.
I remember my mom whipping up a batch of these after school with just what we had in the fridge—cabbage, eggs, and a few spices. The crispy edges were always my favorite part, and I could never stop at just one. Now, they’ve become a go-to in my own kitchen.
