Panko breadcrumps mixed with Parmesan cheese - for dry coating , this will give crisp outer surface to your patties.
Make round or oval patties in the vegetable mixture and you can fry them without any coating in tawa by spraying some oil .
If using coating you can directly dip the patty in breadcrumps for light coating and fry them by spraying oil.
Or you can dip first in wet coating and then in dry coating for covered coating and fry them in griddle.

You can also roast them in broiler oven on low setting for 2 min each side.Spray oil on each side.
To bake in oven like Quiche,Just mix egg whites or whole egg if you prefer with vegetable mixture and put a scoop of this mixture in the muffin tin and bake it in preheated oven for 375 degree for 20 min or a toothpick inserted into the baked mixture comes out clean with no batter sticking.
You can use this method to make bulk of patties and you can store this in freezer and use whenever needed.Just thaw them and heat it up in microwave or griddle.For Golden Crust you can put this in the griddle with light coating of oil and crisp them on both sides.
Note:
Obviously you can deep fry the patties if you prefer.
Keep them warm in oven in 170 degree preheated oven in single layer in baking tray loosely covered with aluminum foil till they can be served.
