Notes

Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to cook several at a time. Just don't overcrowd your pan.
If you are looking to make a low carb meal, serve them with a side of broccoli or bell peppers.
For some variety you can make or use different sorts of mayonnaise aioli for dipping. Chipotle or lime would both be yummy dipping options.
