Ann's Tips and Tricks
These patties can easily be made ahead of time and frozen. They will safely keep up to 1 month in the freezer, so be sure to date the package. When you want to eat them, either let them slowly defrost in the body of the fridge – this will take 3 to 4 hours, or run cold water over them under until they are soft.
Your ingredient list states '1/2 freshly grated parmesan cheese'. I'm wondering 1/2 of what? 1/2 cup, 1/2 Tbsp.? I made these last night and used approximately 1/2 cup cheese because 1/2 Tbsp. just seem like enough. I was used to beef burgers but I quite enjoyed these.
Thank you!
