Carrot and Egg Breakfast Fritters

Ingredients:

  • 1 large carrot, chopped or grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Olive oil (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the chopped or grated carrot, chopped onion, all-purpose flour, and Parmesan cheese.
    • Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, add chopped herbs.
  2. Heat the Oil:
    • In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Cook the Fritters:
    • Once the oil is hot, spoon the carrot and egg mixture into the pan, forming small patties. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
    • Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  4. Serve:
    • Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
    • Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.

Enjoy!
