Zucchini fritter with cheese is made by mixing squeezed, grated zucchini with egg, cheese and enough flour to bind it. Shape spoonfuls and pan-fry until golden, or bake the mixture on an oiled tray for a less oily version.
To keep zucchini fritter with cheese intact, squeeze as much water as possible from the grated zucchini before mixing. Let the batter stand briefly, and wait until each fritter is browned and set underneath before turning it.
Feta works well in zucchini fritter with cheese because its salty, tangy flavor complements mild zucchini. Crumbled ricotta gives a softer, less salty result; taste the batter before adding extra salt if your cheese is already salty.
Yes, zucchini fritter with cheese can be baked. Spoon the mixture onto an oiled baking tray or spread it in a thin layer, then bake until set and browned. Baking lets you use less oil than pan-frying.
Zucchini fritter with cheese goes well with plain or garlic yogurt, a crisp salad, or soup. Serve it as a light lunch with salad, or add bread and a dip to make it part of a fuller meal.
Zucchini fritter with cheese typically contains grated zucchini, cheese, egg and flour to bind the mixture. Herbs such as dill or scallions and seasonings such as black pepper are common additions; squeezing the zucchini helps the fritters hold together.
Zucchini fritter with cheese keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat it thoroughly in a pan or oven, and avoid leaving cooked fritters at room temperature for an extended time.
Yes, zucchini fritter with cheese can be frozen after cooking and cooling. Separate the pieces with parchment in an airtight container so they do not stick together, then reheat them in a pan or oven after thawing.
Zucchini fritter with cheese can absorb excess oil if the zucchini mixture is watery or the cooking oil is not hot enough. Squeeze the zucchini well, heat the pan before adding the batter, and fry in small batches.
Zucchini fritter with cheese can be served hot, warm, or chilled. It is crispest soon after cooking, while cooled fritters are convenient for a picnic or packed lunch; reheat leftovers if you prefer a freshly crisp exterior.

Zucchini fritter with cheese is a home-style Turkish dish made by mixing grated zucchini with egg, cheese and usually a little flour, then cooking the mixture in small, flat portions. Dill and spring onion are common additions. The outside turns golden while the centre stays tender; the cheese adds a savoury, slightly tangy note.
In Turkey, these fritters are served warm or cold at breakfast, with tea, or as part of a meal alongside yoghurt. They also make an easy lunch or appetiser for English-speaking cooks elsewhere. Zucchini brings moisture and some fibre, while the cheese and cooking fat make the fritters more substantial. For a lighter version, bake them with a little oil and serve with plain yoghurt or a crisp salad.
