We always have leftover couscous from dinner. I make these tasty little treats the day after to use it up!

Steps

1

In a bowl, combine couscous, eggs, cheese and basil. Mix well with hands.
2

Sprinkle flour over the top and mix again.
3

Heat olive oil in medium skillet.
4

Form couscous mixture into patties. (I use a 1/2 cup measuring cup, pushing the mix in lightly and then turning it out into the pan)
5

Gently press the cakes down with a spatula to flatten slightly.
6

Brown on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
7

Drain cakes on paper towels to remove excess oil
8

Serve. I always like to serve with thickly sliced tomatoes, but they are delicious all on their own.
