These are insanely delicious and quite easy to make. Very rich, though--I wish I'd had some tzaziki on hand. I had to use 2 eggs plus a bit of water to get all the ingredients to bind together. I also only used 5-6 oz of Parmesan, which turned out to be plenty. FYI--the uncooked cakes freeze very nicely. Thanks, Varsha! I'll be making these again.
