Method

  • step 1

    Squeeze the courgettes between your hands to remove any excess moisture, or tip onto a clean tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the moisture.

  • step 2

    Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the broccoli, courgettes and most of the dill, and mix together. Add the flour, mix again and season.

  • step 3

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Put a large serving spoon of the mixture in the pan, then add 2 more spoonfuls so you have 3 fritters. Leave for 3-4 mins on a medium heat until golden brown on one side and solid enough for you to flip over, then flip over and leave to go golden on the other side. Repeat to make 3 more fritters (there is no need to add any more oil to the pan after the first batch). Scatter with the remaining dill to serve.

Hi there. Could you freeze this?

Hello, yes the cooked fritters can be frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly to serve. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team

I'm really happy with how this turned out! Like the other commenters, I grated the veg the night before, saving me lots of time before getting to work. I used coriander instead of dill and had some light chilli sauce on the side to give the dish more moisture. A great breakfast!

Such a nice change at breakfast. I grate the veg the night before as I like to sleep in. It’s also nice with potato instead of broccoli, and makes it a little more filling.

This isn't a quick breakfast! Who's going to be grating courgettes and finely chopping broccoli when you could be in bed hitting 'snooze' and hiding your head under the pillow? It sounds like a nice weekend brunch maybe. Don't make me feel guilty for not having superhuman organisational/energy…
