Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
2 large eggs
½ cup almond flour (or coconut flour for a nuttier taste)
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
¼ cup finely chopped spinach or kale (optional)
2 tbsp flaxseed meal (for extra fiber and binding)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Prepare the mixture:
In a bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until well combined. Stir in the almond flour, shredded cheese, flaxseed meal, spinach (if using), and seasonings. Mix well to form a thick, slightly sticky batter.
Shape the patties:
Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small patties, about ½-inch thick.
Cook the patties:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Serve and enjoy:
Enjoy the patties warm with toppings like poached eggs, smoked salmon, fresh tomato slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
