Light Zucchini and Cheese Fritters

Elena Butuc

A very good recipe for a healthy and fast dinner, it can save you when you don't know what to cook. Not necessarily dinner, it goes perfectly with any meal, but this combination of ingredients is recommended for dinner (vegetables, protein and no carbohydrates).

The ingredients are for 2 servings, and each contains about 200kcal - and all these calories are tasty and filling. We served them with some 2% fat, creamy and thick yogurt.

The only observation in the recipe: cook the fritters on a good non-stick pan. Because they don't have flour, they are a bit softer and you'll need some skill to turn them over carefully. If the pan is more sticky, you may not be able to do this and they will break. Another option would be to pour the mixture into an oven sheet lined with parchment and make a kind of pudding - I haven't tested this yet, but I will.

Be quick to cook the fritters as soon as you've prepared the mixture. Don't let sit because they will release juice and it will be a little harder to fry.
