Ingredients

1 cup White bread crumbs

3
Toss all ingredients together thoroughly until well blended and evenly distributed.
4
Form the mixture into round patties, packing them just enough to hold their shape without being too dense.
5
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
6

7
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for about eight minutes, turning once, until the patties are cooked through.
