Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
- 1/3 cup grated onions
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour or gluten free flour
- 1/2 cup Panko or Gluten Free Panko
- Canola oil
Instructions
- Place the shredded zucchini in a cheese cloth and wring out all the water. You should get at least 1/4-1/2 cup of zucchini ‘juice’.
- In a bowl place the zucchini, onion, cheese, salt, pepper, egg, flour and panko.
- Mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a cast iron skillet (you can use a non-stick if you don’t have one) add 2-3 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until the oil start to shimmer (but NOT smoke).
- Drop small batches of the zucchini fritter into the oil. Be sure not to overcrowd.
- Take the back of your spoon and gently flatten them out.
- Cool until the edges start to get golden brown. ~3-4 minutes
- Using a spatula flip the over and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. If you find they are browning too fast, reduce your heat to medium.
- Have a plate lined with paper towels ready and transfer the cheesy fritters onto the plate.
- Sprinkle with salt while warm.
- Repeat the process and adding more oil when necessary.
- Serve with sour cream, apple sauce, hot sauce or just eat ‘em nekkid. That is the fritter is nekkid, not you *wink*
