I love fritters.
There, I said it. I love everything fried (except for onions).
But I hate frying 
So I decided to make a batch and try to bake them. I have to admit now that I still prefer them fried but when I think of standing next to a hot hob holding a pan full of hot oil for, what?, 15-20 minutes and all the calories that come with it, I’m well contented with this baked version 🙂
BAKED CHEESY COURGETTE FRITTERS

I love your recipes. They are simple and easy…I would like to try this one. Should I fry or bake them? do they taste very different (baked/fried?)

Thank you so much indeed, Liz! Well, you can do either but for me fried beats baked any day 😉 But to eat fritters more regularly it’s best to bake them 🙂
