Instructions
Grate your Zucchinis. Sprinkle salt over them and and place in a strainer for a couple minutes. Press down on them to release as much excess liquid as possible
Beat your eggs lightly in a large mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients: Zucchini, spring onion, cottage cheese, garlic, pepper, flour and baking powder. Mix until combined
Heat a frypan at medium heat. Add a little oil. Spoon 1 - 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan* SEE NOTE. Cook for two minutes then flip and cook the other side for two minutes until golden. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire wrack while you cook remaining batter
Serve
Notes
The recipe will make 8 large fritters (like in my pictures) or 14 -16 smaller fritters (depending on how much batter you use). The smaller fritters are great for finger foods, snacks, lunchboxes and toddler meals.
