It’s been nice and hot and has been the perfect opportunity to get outside.  Soccer, bike rides, and fun at the park, the kids have been busy! To ensure that they are getting the nutrients they need while getting their bodies moving, I make these easy to make egg fritters. Made with hard boiled eggs, these fritters are packed with protein.

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods and are key to having energy. They are important for a healthy lifestyle building and repairing body tissues and cells, building and maintaining healthy muscles and helping keep your body fluids in balance. The nutrients that can be found in every egg include protein, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folate, selenium, lutein, zeaxanthin and choline.

Each batch of these fritters contains two hard boiled eggs, grated into the mixture. The eggs are combined with a couple pieces of bread and spices like garlic, ginger, cumin and coriander.  Rice flour is used to bind it all together, making it easy to roll into balls.

These egg fritters are reminiscent of falafel but lighter in texture. To ensure that each ball looks the same, I use a cookie scoop to ensure that every fritter is the same size. Each ball is coated in panko and pan fried.

How To Make Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are super simple to make. This is my favourite method, ensuring that they are perfectly cooked and not overdone. Place the eggs in a pot of water. Heat the water and when it starts boiling, take the pot off the heat. Place a lid on the pot and set a timer for ten minutes. Have a bowl of water and ice ready. When the timer goes off, place the eggs into the water to stop them from cooking further.
