These courgette fritters are perfect lazy fodder for get togethers or nights in front of the TV. They take less than an hour to make and will be sure to please even the fussiest of eaters.
I’ll be honest, I’ve been working on this recipe in my head for a while and I was expecting them to turn out totally differently, but such is the joy of cooking! As I went along, I adapted a few things and I’m super happy with the final result. They were gobbled up in a matter of minutes!
Rich, cheesy courgette fritters dipped into a goats cheese dip laced with mustard. Honestly, whats not to love?!
