This keto ricotta cheese fritters recipe, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a side of smoked salmon, is super easy to make.
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 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, making 6 serves total. It’s a good idea to make a batch on the weekend and reheat it in the microwave or for a few minutes in a non-stick frying pan for a quick breakfast during the week.
Keto Ricotta Cheese Fritters Ingredients
- 1 pound of Fresh Ricotta Cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of Coconut Flour
- 2 tablespoons of Fresh Oregano, finely chopped
- 1 Lemon, zest only
- 1 pinch Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil

How to Make Keto Cheese Fritters
- 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.
- Split the mixture into 12 pieces and form each piece into a small round patty.
- In a large non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil and warm over medium heat.
- 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.
- Remove from the pan and serve with a side of smoked salmon, a tablespoon of sour cream, and a squeeze of lemon.

Hi Nisse,
The only comments that we do not post are ones that are clearly spam. I’d love to help you figure out what went wrong here by getting your answers to a few questions.
My first question is what kind of ricotta cheese did you use? If the ricotta you used came from a tub in the chiller section of the supermarket, then the recipe would be a flop. That type of ricotta is far too watery to make into a fritter.
The next question is about the type of parmesan. Did you buy the finely grated (sometimes called powdered) parmesan? Or did you used shredded? If you used the shredded variety, it melts, rather than binds, and this would also cause the recipe to flop.
And finally; at what point was the recipe deemed a flop? Did your mixture resemble more of a paste than a soft dough? Did the fritters just melt and spread out when cooked? Or was it something else?
Please let me know, Nisse. I’m sure we can figure out what went wrong together 🙂
Yum! Those look delicious!
