Artichoke Fritters with Whipped Goat Cheese
Crispy artichoke fritters paired with creamy, tangy whipped goat cheese create a mouthwatering bite of Mediterranean-inspired goodness. Perfect for an appetizer or light meal, these fritters are as easy to make as they are delicious!
Ingredients
- Artichoke Hearts: 1 can (14 oz) or 2 cups fresh, chopped
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup grated
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons chopped
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon
- Goat Cheese: 4 oz
- Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine artichoke hearts, flour, eggs, parmesan cheese, baking powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Make sure the frying pan is hot and ready for frying. You can test by dropping a small spoonful of batter into the oil — if it sizzles, it’s time to fry.
- Assemble the Dish: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter and form small fritters. Gently drop them into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook to Perfection: Fry the fritters for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fritters warm with the whipped goat cheese on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Fry the fritters in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and get that crisp texture.
- For a lighter version, bake them at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy fritters.
