Keto Cheese Fritters Recipe with Ricotta & Parmesan

Keto Ricotta Cheese Fritters

A classic brunch dish, our Low Carb Ricotta Cheese Fritters, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a side of smoked salmon. 

This recipe relies on making the extra effort to buy good quality fresh ricotta cheese, I’m talking about going to your local deli for a nice piece or even making your own. Whatever you do, don’t use the processed, grainy and watery ricotta that comes in plastic tubs.

This recipe makes 12 fritters, 2 per serve makes 6 serves total. It’s a great idea to make a batch on the weekend and reheat in the microwave, or for a few minutes in a non stick frying pan for a quick breakfast during the week.

• 6 tablespoons of Sour Cream, to serve

How to Make Keto Cheese Fritters:

1. In a mixing bowl add all ingredients except the olive oil. Mix until it comes together into a ball, similar to a very soft dough.
2. Split the mixture into 12 pieces and form each piece into a small round patty.
3. In a large non-stick frying panadd the olive oil and warm over medium heat.
4. Add the fritters and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Take care when flipping as the fritters are very delicate.
5. Remove from the pan and serve with a side of smoked salmon, a tablespoon of sour cream and a squeeze of lemon.
