🇭🇺 Fasírt (Breaded Hungarian Hamburgers)


Instructions

  1. Mix the meat
    • In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, paprika, marjoram, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until well combined (but don’t overwork).
  2. Form patties
    • Shape into palm-sized patties (about ¾ inch thick).
    • Roll each patty in breadcrumbs to coat.
  3. Fry
    • Heat ¼ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Fry patties 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve
    • Traditionally served hot or cold with potato salad, boiled potatoes, or bread and mustard.

✨ Tips & Variations:

  • Some families add soaked bread rolls (instead of breadcrumbs) for extra softness.
  • Can also be shaped into smaller balls and baked instead of fried.
  • Delicious cold — perfect for a Hungarian-style picnic lunch! 🧺🇭🇺

Would you like me to also share the recipe for Stefánia Szelet (Hungarian Meatloaf with hard-boiled eggs inside), which is like a cousin to Fasírt?
