These fluffy fritters using cottage cheese make the perfect light lunch, great for the family or an easy option to prepare ahead and take with you to work.

Ingredients

97% fat-free cottage cheese

350 g

Egg(s)

2 medium

97% fat-free deli sliced ham

75 g, chopped

White self-raising flour

½ cup(s), (75g)

Instructions

  1. Whisk 1¼ cups (250g) of cottage cheese and egg in a large bowl until combined. Stir in the ham, flour, shallot, parsley and 1 tablespoon of mint until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat half of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop six 2-tablespoonful quantities of mixture into the pan to make 6 fritters. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden and puffed. Wipe the pan clean with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining oil and cheese mixture to make another 6 fritters.
  3. Serve the fritters with a dollop of the remaining cottage cheese and the mint.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: salad made of baby rocket, halved grape tomatoes and thinly sliced baby mushrooms drizzled with 2 teaspoons each of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. TIP: Try these fritters with 1 cup corn kernels instead of ham and replace the herbs with coriander and a little ground chilli.
