Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Form the Batter: Pour the beaten eggs into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms.

  3. Pan-Fry: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. For each fritter, drop a tablespoon of batter into the skillet, gently flattening it with the back of the spoon.

  4. Cook Until Golden: Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Drain and Serve: Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately while warm.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these fritters as a standout side with a crisp green salad or a bowl of vegetable soup. They’re fantastic with a creamy garlic aioli or a tangy yogurt dip for dunking. They also pair beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables, making them a versatile addition to any brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Chef’s Tips & Variations

  • Add Some Heat: Stir a pinch of cayenne pepper or some finely diced jalapeño into the batter for a spicy kick.

  • Cheese Swap: Experiment with different cheeses like crumbled feta or creamy goat cheese for a new flavor profile.

  • Oven-Bake Option: For a lighter version, bake the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Texture Tip: If you’re not strictly low-carb, adding a tablespoon of cornmeal will give a texture closer to the classic version.
