Cabbage & Egg Veggie Rolls (Healthy Breakfast Recipe)

Servings:

Makes 8–10 rolls (serves 3–4 people)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated cabbage (squeezed to remove extra moisture)

  • 1 medium carrot, grated

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (or parsley)

  • 2–3 tbsp flour (or breadcrumbs for crispiness)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • A pinch of garlic powder or paprika (optional)

  • 2 tbsp oil or butter for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Vegetables:

    • Grate the cabbage and carrot.

    • Chop green onions finely.

    • Squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage to prevent sogginess.

  2. Mix the Batter:

    • In a large bowl, add cabbage, carrot, cheese, green onion, eggs, and flour.

    • Season with salt, pepper, and any desired spices.

    • Mix well until everything combines into a sticky mixture.

  3. Shape the Rolls:

    • Take a small handful of the mixture and form it into oblong rolls or small patties.

  4. Cook:

    • Heat oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

    • Place the rolls and fry on all sides until golden brown (about 2–3 minutes per side).

  5. Serve:

    • Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt dip, ketchup, or your favorite sauce.

Tips & Notes:

  • If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour or breadcrumbs.

  • You can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes instead of frying for a lighter version.

  • Add spices like chili flakes, cumin, or herbs for extra flavor.

  • Leftovers reheat well in an air fryer or skillet.
