There are many ways to cook with cheese besides melting it on toast or including it in an omelette or even making a souffle. By far, this is a wonderful combination with some of my favorite cheese, feta. This is so easy and incredibly delicious......you have got to try this!Fritters
5 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
1/2 t. sea salt
1/4 cup grated onion
3 oz. of flour
1 beaten egg
7 oz. crumbled feta
oil for frying.I started out with 1 T. and added more with each batch I fried.
Place the grated zucchini, salt and onion in a large bowl. Mix and let sit for 30 minutes until the juice is drawn out by the salt. Drain. Mix the flour, egg and stir in feta cheese to the zucchini mixture. Fry large tablespoons of the mixture in moderately hot oil until brown on both sides, making sure the fritters are well cooked. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
I served the fritters with a chunky hot tomato salsa and sour cream on the side.

So good! I tried a summer squash pancake about a month ago, that didn't come out nearly this nice. I'll bet the cheese is the secret ingredient!
I always think that fritters might not be the healthiest of things to eat, but it is a wonderful way to get children to eat their veggies...fried in a little olive oil can also not be that bad!!! I like the addition of feta to break the sweetness from the zucchinis!!!
Fritters! I haven't had these for a while...yours looks yummie...feta cheese and zucchini, nice combination!
Ooooh! I love this! Nice going, Jann.
I love zucchini fritters . . . never thought to add cheese. Sweet potato fritters are good too. Thanks for the tip.
I accept your invitation to try these fritters: I will as soon as I get back to my normal cooking routine (I just got back from Italy). Thanks!
What wonderful little fritters. I love zucchini and I know it would be good with the feta.

Your fritters sound delicous!
Cheese is such a versatile ingredient :)
I make a similar one that I bake, but I like the feta in yours. I'll have to give this a try.
