Looking for a tasty and easy-to-make appetizer? Look no further than these Cheese-Stuffed Zucchini Fritters! This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a quick snack.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the grated zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the fritters from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters, as this can cause them to cook unevenly.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, parsley, eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
3. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, making sure to flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon.
4. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the fritters hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
