Super easy zucchini fritters topped with a poached egg, this recipe is perfect for any time of the day!

Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis (500g), trimmed, coarsely grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup wholemeal self-raising flour
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 300g can corn kernels, drained
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • olive oil
  • 4 poached eggs
  • Mixed salad & rocket leaves, tomato relish & lemon wedges, to serve


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160C fan-forced.
  2. Combine the grated zucchini and salt in a sieve over a bowl. Mix well and stand for 10 minutes. Press down with a wooden spoon to squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
  3. Transfer prepared zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Add flour, Parmesan, corn and onion and mix well. Whisk together eggs and milk and pour into fritter mixture. Stir through until well combined.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium low heat. Place 1/3 cup of mixture into the pan, cooking 3 at a time and spread with a spatula to form 9-10cm size fritter. Cook for about 4 mins each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Place on an oven tray in a single layer.
  5. Repeat with remaining oil and mixture. Place fritters in the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. To serve, place 2 fritters onto plates and top each with a poached egg. Serve with salad, tomato relish and lemon wedges.


Tips & Hints

  1. You can use Greek yoghurt instead of milk.
  2. Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to accurately measure fritter mixture. Use the spatula or a knife to level the top.
  3. Substitute canned corn with 1 cup frozen corn kernels. Place frozen kernels into a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for one minute or pour over boiling water and stand 1 minute. Drain well before using.
  4. Cooked fritters can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave, in a sandwich press or add to a dry, warm frying pan.
  5. To make this recipe more heart healthy, leave out the added salt.
