Leave it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. First soak into the beaten egg, then roll them with the bread crumbs.

Heat the oil in a pan at medium heat. Place all the patties in it. Fry both sides until golden colour. Place on a plate with a paper towel to soak up extra oil. Arrange them on a service plate with the lemon edges. Serve while still warm as a hot appetizer.
