Ingredients
Scale
- 2 zucchini (about 700g), grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 100g mozzarella cheese, grated
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini – Grate the zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Mix the batter – In a bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, flour, and grated mozzarella. Stir until well combined.
- Heat the pan – Add a bit of oil to a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the fritters – Spoon the batter into the pan, flattening slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm – Enjoy with sour cream, yogurt, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- Draining the zucchini properly is crucial for crispy fritters.
- Mozzarella adds a stretchy, gooey texture, but you can also use cheddar or parmesan for a stronger flavor.
- For extra crispiness, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs to the mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a pan or oven.
