    Ingredients

    • 1 cup self-raising flour
    • ​3 eggs, lightly whisked
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 3/4 cup grated cheese
    • 1/4 onion, finely diced
    • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Extra virgin olive oil, for frying
    • Wholegrain toast, to serve
    • Sliced avocado, to serve
    • 2 cups of vegetables of your choice, such as:
      • 1/2 cup red capsicum, de-seeded and diced
      • 1/2 cup corn kernels, parboiled
      • 1/2 cup carrot, grated
      • 1/2 cup baby spinach, shredded
      • Or any other combination of coloured vegetables

    Method

    1. To make the fritter base, combine the flour, eggs, milk, cheese, onion, parsley and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
    2. Add 2 cups of different coloured vegetables to the base mixture and stir to combine.
    3. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick fry pan. Add 1/4 cup of fritter mixture to the pan at a time, allowing room for the fritters to spread.
    4. Cook for 2-3 minutes on a medium heat. Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until fritters are lightly browned and cooked through.
    5. Serve with wholegrain toast and sliced avocado.

    Tips

    • Use up leftover veggies so they don’t go to waste. Check the fridge for wilted veggies or use leftover bits and pieces from last night’s dinner.
    • Fritters can be prepared ahead of time and enjoyed all week. They can also be frozen.
    • Combining the fritters with wholegrain toast and avocado gives you a well-balanced brekkie with protein, good quality carbohydrates and healthy fats for a nutritious kick start to the day.
