Nutrition values are estimates based on standard per-egg values (about 72 kcal, 6.3 g protein, 4.8 g fat, 0.4 g carbs per large egg). Cook the patties on medium heat so they cook through without burning. For a lighter version, bake the patties at 200°C for 15 minutes. Contains egg, wheat (bun) and chickpeas. Substitute boiled potato for chickpeas if needed. Store leftover patties in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a pan until hot.
