Method

  • step 1

    In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the flour and oil. Mix well, then stir in the flour.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Working in batches of two or three (the mixture should make six fritters), spoon large blobs into the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon to make thick discs. Turn when crisp and golden on the bottom. When both sides are cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm in a low oven while you fry the next batch.

  • step 3

    Serve hot, sprinkled with parmesan and herbs.

Added egg and grilled in air fryer without need for oil. Also reduced Parmesan for lower fat. Perfect

What settings did you use on the air fryer?

I wanted a recipe that would use up cottage cheese. I didn't have spinach so I used an onion. I didn't find it sloppy, if you do just add more flour & maybe cheese til it's firmish.

Like others, I added an egg but I feel it would benefit from the addition of a little spring onion too

I really liked the idea and flavours but I can’t see how anyone has actually used the recipe as is and had success. Like others, I just ended up with a mess welded to my pan. Love to see an update to this recipe that makes them work better.

Thanks to others for the tip, I added an egg and they were great. Held really well though had to add extra flour to offset the extra liquid a bit and next time would just try to reduce liquid from other ingredients as were a bit doughy. Would def make again though, tasty!
