Ingredients
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 20 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 100 ml Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the mozzarella cheese into a mixing bowl and finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Add them to the bowl.
Step 2
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped basil, making sure the mixture is evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour into the cheese mixture. Gradually pour in the egg and milk mixture, stirring to create a thick, lump-free batter. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, drop small dollops of batter into the hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fritters from the pan using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the fritters immediately with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dip. Enjoy!
