Zucchini Fritters with Cheese

"What do you do when you have too much zucchini, you make zucchini fritters!"

A Note from Feedfeed

These Zucchini Fritters are light, crispy and cheesy! A twist of classic fritters, these can be made using a cheese blend or feta as well as creamy labneh, which is made by straining yogurt or kefir and is widely used throughout the Middle East. These additions give a tangy flavor to amp up the subtle zucchini and add moisture so the interior is fluffy and light.

Method

  • Step 1

    Grate zucchini over a fine mesh strainer, a sheet of cheesecloth, or a few layers of paper towel and press or squeeze to get all of the moisture out of it.

  • Step 2

    Place the zucchini into a medium size mixing bowl with the eggs, green onion, cheese, labneh, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined, then add flour or gluten-free flour to create a batter.

  • Step 3

    Add butter or olive oil to a large frying pan on medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Lightly flatten the batter to create a nice pancake shape. Brown on both sides and repeat until all the batter is used.
