Ricotta Fritters

By foodiva

Ingredients

• 1 lb. (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

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

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.
