Easy Ricotta & Parmesan Cheese Fritters Recipe – Low-Carb & Delicious

Sharing is caring!

This low-carb ricotta and parmesan 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 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 good 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.

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 pan add 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.
