Ricotta and Spinach Fritters Recipe

Rich and creamy ricotta paired up with Parmesan cheese and fresh spinach and lightly fried making these ricotta and spinach fritters the perfect snack.

Ricotta and Spinach Fritters

Ingredients:

• 2 cups ricotta (I used part skim)
• 3 eggs, lightly whisked
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Panko
• 2 cups fresh spinach, sliced thin
• a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper
• 6-8 tablespoons olive oil, divided, for frying (use more or less based on your preference)

Directions:

1. Add ricotta, eggs, Parmesan cheese, panko, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Fold spinach into mixture.
2. Drizzle about a tablespoon or two of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and spread around. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of ricotta and spinach mixture into hot oil and gently push down with spoon to spread and flatten just a bit, this helps them all cook up evenly. Repeat with as many spoonfuls as fit in your pan (I made 5 - 6 per batch).
3. Cook for about 2 minutes on first side until golden brown. Flip and continue to cook another 2 minutes until other side browns as well. Serve warm, room temperature or cold out of the refrigerator as a snack.

Notes

The best way to test if fritters are seasoned well is to make a small "test" fritter first. I usually have to do this and add more salt and pepper after a small taste.
