Ricotta Fritters
These Ricotta Fritters are one of the best ways to cook ricotta whenever you are in a hurry and still want to have a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) crumbly ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese , plus extra for serving
- 2 tbsp flour (if the cheese is too creamy you can add one tbsp more)
- 1 egg
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl mix the ricotta with the Parmesan, flour, salt and egg. Season with pepper and set aside in the fridge for few minutes.
- Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan. Take spoonfuls of ricotta mixture and fry the cakes for a few minutes until brown on each side. They can be pretty hard to flip but if you do it gently it will work fine.
- Gently remove from the pan and serve warm with fresh ripe tomatoes and your favorite herbs and dressings.
