Ingredients
For the fritters:
- 2 medium leeks
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella about 3.5 oz
- 1/2 cup oat flour about 1.7 oz
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
For the cottage cheese sauce:
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese about 5 oz
- 1/2 cup sour cream about 3.5 oz
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the leeks thoroughly and slice into thin rounds. Sauté in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over low heat until soft and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes, then lightly season with salt.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the shredded mozzarella and oat flour. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the leeks have cooled slightly, add them to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- Heat a skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and form into patties, cooking each fritter for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- For the sauce, mix the cottage cheese, sour cream, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Serve alongside the warm fritters.
