Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheddar Fritters: Crispy, Cheesy & Delicious
These Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheddar Fritters are always a winner in my house. Crispy on the outside, cheesy and flavourful on the inside, they are seriously addictive! They are a great way to sneak more veggies into your meals while still feeling like a treat. The combination of grated broccoli and cauliflower mixed with melty cheddar and a hint of mild spices gives them just the right balance of savoury goodness. Even the pickiest eaters can’t resist them!
One of the best things about these fritters is how easy and versatile they are. Fresh off the pan, they are warm, crispy, and oozing with cheesy deliciousness. But they are just as tasty at room temperature or even cold, which makes them perfect for meal prep. If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), they are great to pack into lunchboxes for work or school, making a quick and satisfying snack or light meal.
I love serving them with a simple dip such as sour cream, yoghurt-based sauces, or even a little sweet chilli for a kick. Whether you enjoy them as a side dish, a snack, or even a quick lunch, these fritters are guaranteed to be a regular in your kitchen. Give them a try, and don’t be surprised if they disappear fast!
