- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions

- Shape the mixture into small patties about one inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
