Cheesy Cabbage Patties: Add ½ cup of shredded cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, to the mixture for a richer flavor.
Spicy Cabbage Patties: Incorporate finely chopped chili peppers or a pinch of cayenne pepper to add heat.

Storage/Reheating
Storage: Allow the patties to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FAQs
Can I bake these patties instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.
Can I make the mixture ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the patties immediately after preparing the mixture to prevent excess moisture from the cabbage. However, you can prepare the mixture a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
What dipping sauces pair well with cabbage patties?
Cabbage patties pair well with a variety of sauces, including sour cream, tzatziki, spicy mayo, or a simple yogurt-based dip.
Can I freeze the cooked patties?
Yes, after cooling, place the patties in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat in the oven or skillet until heated through.

How do I prevent the patties from falling apart?
Ensure the mixture is well combined and not too wet. If necessary, add a bit more flour to help bind the ingredients. Also, avoid flipping the patties too early during cooking.
Can I add other vegetables to the mixture?
Absolutely. Grated carrots, zucchini (with excess moisture squeezed out), or chopped spinach can be added for extra flavor and nutrition.
Are these patties suitable for a low-carb diet?
To make them more low-carb friendly, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or coconut flour.
Can I use red cabbage instead of green?
Yes, red cabbage can be used, though it will impart a different color and slightly different flavor to the patties.
What type of oil is best for frying?
Neutral oils with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil, are ideal for frying these patties.
Can I make these patties vegan?
Yes, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and ensure the flour used is vegan-friendly.
