How to Make It:
Start by finely chopping the cabbage and sautéing it in a pan with butter until soft and slightly golden. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, diced mushrooms, crumbled bacon, salt, pepper, sweet paprika, and parsley. Cook everything together until the vegetables are tender and the bacon is crispy.
In a large bowl, mix in beaten eggs and flour until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form patties. Heat some oil in a skillet, scoop portions of the mixture, and fry each patty until golden brown on both sides.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the creamy yogurt-garlic sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, finely chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Top each patty with a dollop of sauce and a slice of fresh tomato for an extra burst of flavor.
