Crispy on the edges and fluffy in the middle, these Zucchini & Corn Fritters are a golden, veggie-packed favourite. Sweet corn and parmesan give richness, while poached eggs on top add a silky, high-protein finish. Served with fresh rocket, tomato relish and a squeeze of lemon, it’s the perfect easy brunch or light dinner, colourful, nourishing and full of flavour.

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced.
  2. Combine the grated zucchini and salt in a sieve over a bowl. Mix well and stand for 10 minutes. Press down with a wooden spoon to squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
  3. Transfer prepared zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Add flour, cheese, corn and onion and mix well. Whisk together eggs and milk, and pour into the fritter mixture. Stir through until well combined.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Place ⅓ cup of mixture into the pan, cooking 3 at a time and spread with a spatula to form 9-10cm sized fritters. Cook for about 4 mins each side or until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel. Place on an oven tray in a single layer.
  5. Repeat with the remaining oil and mixture. Place fritters in the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. To serve, place 2 fritters onto plates and top each with a poached egg. Serve with salad, tomato relish and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • You can use Greek yoghurt instead of milk.
  • Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to accurately measure the fritter mixture. Use the spatula to level the top.
  • Substitute canned corn with 1 cup frozen corn kernels. Place into a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for one minute, or pour over boiling water and stand 1 minute before draining.
  • Cooked fritters can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave, in a sandwich press or add to a dry warm frying pan set over low heat until warmed through.
  • To make this heart healthy, leave out the added salt.
  • Nutritional analysis doesn’t include the side salad.
