Courgette & Cheddar Fritters

I have begun making these lovely fritters for my baby son, as part of his weaning process but they are also delicious for adults too. Try them as a side dish or stacked up with bacon and a poached egg for a great breakfast!

Ingredient

Food ration :

8-10 fritters

Cooking time :

25 mins

large courgettes, grated,

60 g

50% reduced fat cheddar, or regular cheddar, grated,

medium eggs,

2/3

rds cup of plain flour,

spring onions sliced really finely,

tiny pinch of salt (optional),

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Take handfuls of the grated courgette and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible by squeezing it between your hands really hard over the sink or an empty bowl. Then lay it out on a chopping board or tray and press down pieces of kitchen towel to remove even more liquid.

* Step 2

Add the dried courgette into a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Only use a very tiny bit of salt or none at all if making for an infant.

* Step 3

Add in the flour, eggs, and chopped spring onion and combine everything together using a wooden spoon. Next add in the grated cheese, stir again until incorporated.

* Step 4

Set the batter aside and heat the oil in a large frying pan until really hot. Turn the heat down a touch once the oil is sizzling then using a silicon spoon and tbsp gently spoon in some batter, then using the back of the tbsp, flatten it out into a neat circle as it begins frying.

* Step 5

Fry for a few minutes on each size until golden and crisp on the outside and cooked through. Flip using a spatula. Once cooked leave them to cool on some greaseproof paper or kitchen towel to remove any excess oil.
