This is sooo good! A little fussy with the frying (the cakes are very breakable when you flip them), but worth all the fuss. I used whole-wheat couscous, real eggs instead of egg substitute (2 large eggs) and some good Bulgarian cheese instead of the feta (in Israel it's practically the same thing, just a little firmer). Pay attention to Step #9, turn the cakes CAREFULLY!!! My first one fell apart, but then I got the hang of it (using two forks instead of a spatula). They make a great brunch dish, or a light supper!
