Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchini about 700g, grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese grated

Method
 

  1. Prepare the zucchini – Grate the zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. Mix the batter – In a bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, flour, and grated mozzarella. Stir until well combined.
  3. Heat the pan – Add a bit of oil to a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the fritters – Spoon the batter into the pan, flattening slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. 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.
