Edam Cheese Fritters Recipes

BROCCOLI FRITTERS WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE (EASY LOW CARB RECIPE)

Steps:

• Cut fresh broccoli crowns and stems into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch pieces. Steam lightly in the microwave or in a steamer. Drain any excess water and dry with paper towels if wet. (If using leftover broccoli, drain well and chop into small bite-sized pieces.)
• Toss or stir the broccoli with your flour of choice and the Cajun seasoning to coat. Add the egg and stir. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until thoroughly combined.
• Place a cast iron or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. A non stick pan needs less oil. Visually divide the mixture into fourths and spoon into the pan, arranging in a low mound or patty. Scrape any tumbled pieces back into the piles.
• Cook on one side until the cheese on the top of the patty begins to melt and the bottom is crusty brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until browned.
• Makes 4 large patties, 2.8 NC each. Serve topped with an egg or with a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Bring the milk to almost boiling point with onion, bay leaf and cloves.

• Remove Onion, bay leaf and cloves.

• Add semolina and stir over a medium / gentle heat until the mixture becomes stiff and difficult to stir.
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese and mustard.
• Pour into a greased dish and spread out to a thickness of about 1 - 1 and 1/2 cm.
• Allow to cool.
• Cut into squares. I find that it makes 12 squares.
• Dip into beaten egg and then roll in breadcrumbs.
• Fry gently in a good quality oil. I prefer Virgin Olive Oil.
• Serve with a fresh green salad and mashed potatoes and tomato sauce or ketchup.
• NB: The quantity of cheese can be adjusted. Reducing the amount of cheese and adding a couple of tbsps of Parmesan works well.
