💡Tips
1. Room Temperature Ingredients
Take your egg and cheese out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting. Room temperature ingredients mix much better together, preventing those annoying cheese clumps that won’t combine with the egg.
Cold cheese tends to seize up and become harder to work with, while room temperature cheese blends smoothly and creates a better texture in the final patties.
2. The Cooling Step
When the patties first come out of the oven, they’re too soft to handle and haven’t developed their final texture yet.
During cooling, the cheese structure sets up, giving you that perfect crispy-outside, chewy inside texture.
Don’t try to rush this step by putting them in the fridge – they need to cool at room temperature.

FAQ
1. Can I use other types of cheese?
While you can experiment with different cheeses, the mozzarella and parmesan combination works best for several reasons.
Mozzarella gives you that perfect melty texture and cheese pull, while parmesan adds flavor and helps the patties hold their shape.
If you want to try other cheeses, stick to hard or semi-hard varieties with low moisture content. Cheeses like cheddar can work but might release too much oil during baking.
2. Can I make them smaller for appetizers?
Absolutely! You can make mini versions by dividing the mixture into 8-12 smaller patties instead of 4.
Just remember to reduce the baking time – start checking them after 12-15 minutes. Make sure to keep them all the same size so they cook evenly.
