Add eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the bowl.

Mix in bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, mustard, paprika, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Place patties in the skillet without overcrowding.

Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve warm with a side of lemon wedges and dipping sauce if desired.
