4. Pan-Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, butter, or avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the patties in the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, flipping carefully with a spatula. You want a deep golden-brown crust on both sides. Remove from pan and serve immediately.
