Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper, greasing it with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine all patty ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture into 10-12 portions, flatten, place a cheese cube in each, and shape into round patties.
Arrange the patties on the tray with space in between, brushing the tops with olive oil.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until firm and golden.
Top with grated cheese and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Let the patties rest for 3 minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
