Zucchini and Cheese Fritters

My love affair with Fritters continues with this easy Zucchini and Cheese Fritters recipe!

I love making fritters because not only are the delicious, I can pack them with veggies and other yummy ingredients (like cheese!), they are easy to make, they are freezer friendly and most importantly all THREE of my kids love them!  I usually add zucchini to my Cauliflower and Cheese Fritters, so I thought I’d have a go at making a batch of fritters that had Zucchini as the main ingredient.

Because you can never have enough cheese, I added feta, parmesan and a little tasty cheese to this recipe.  If there is one of these cheeses that you don’t like, simply leave it out and add a little more of your favourite, this recipe is pretty forgiving.  Another tip is to use a little water (a tablespoon at a time) if you find your batter is too dry as this can happen depending on the size of the zucchinis you use.

The longest part of this recipe is cooking the fritters, I can usually fit five – six fritters at a time in our frying pan, however you may fit more or less depending on how big both your pan and the fritters you are making are.  These Zucchini and Cheese Fritters are great when eating warm, however they are also yummy cold and are perfect for school lunch boxes too.

I like to squeeze a little lemon juice over my fritters when I eat them, however my two older boys insisted on having a mixture of both tomato and BBQ sauce on theirs, a combination they picked up from my husband!  On the other hand our little guys was happy to be eating the same meal as his big brothers and happily mushed them into his hands before showing them into his mouth – we’re all class in this house!!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 Zucchinis
• ▢ 30 g of parmesan cheese - grated
• ▢ 80 g of feta cheese - cut into 3cm cubes
• ▢ 30 g of tasty cheese - grated
• ▢ 1 small onion - approximately 100g
• ▢ 2 cloves of garlic
• ▢ ¾ cup of plain flour
• ▢ salt and pepper to taste
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ Extra virgin olive oil for frying.

Instructions

 

• Grate the zucchinis into a large bowl.
• Crush the garlic and grate the onion into the bowl and add the grated tasty and parmesan cheeses, feta cheese and flour. Stir to combine.
• Beat the eggs in a small bowl lightly with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the eggs to the bowl with the zucchini mixture and stir well to combine. If your batter is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture comes together.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and use dessertspoon to scoop up the batter and place the fritter mixture into your pan. Use a spoon to gently spread the mixture into a circle between ½cm - 1cm thick. You should be able to fit approximately five fritters (or even more depending on the size of your pan) into your frying pan.
• Cook the Zucchini and Cheese Fritters for 3 minutes on each side or until they are crisp and golden brown before transferring to a plate and covering them with foil so they stay warm while you cook the next batch. Repeat until all of the batter has been used.

Notes

If your mixture is too dry (this can happen depending on the water content of your zucchinis) simply add a tablespoon of water to your mixture at a time until the batter forms.
