Zucchini & Cheese Fritters
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 1 Batch
Category: Quick & Easy (<30 Minutes)
Ingredients:
- 3 Zucchinis
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 clove Fresh Garlic
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Egg
- Bisquick (quantity not specified)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter: Begin by grating the zucchinis and squeezing out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, cheddar cheese, finely diced onion, minced fresh garlic, garlic powder, one beaten egg, and enough Bisquick to bind the mixture together. Stir until all the ingredients are just blended, being careful not to overmix.
-
Heat the Oil: In a skillet or frying pan, heat enough oil to cover the bottom over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to sizzle when a small amount of batter is dropped into it.
-
Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the hot oil, leaving enough space between them to allow for even cooking. Flatten the spoonfuls slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
-
Drain and Serve: Once the fritters are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle the fritters lightly with salt while they’re still warm for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Enjoy: Serve these delightful Zucchini & Cheese Fritters hot and fresh, either as a standalone snack, a side dish, or even as part of a brunch spread. They’re delicious on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
