Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup Homemade Ricotta or store-bought ricotta
Kosher salt and pepper
1 medium zucchini (about 8 oz), coarsely grated (2 cups)
1/2 cup basil, chopped
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/3 cup chopped chives
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. olive oil, divided
Flaky salt, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Step 1In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, ricotta and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Stir in zucchini along with basil, Parmesan and chives. Fold in flour until just combined.
2. Step 2Heat 1 1/2 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet on medium. Add half of batter in 1/4-cup mounds and flatten slightly to make 3-inch fritters. Cook until bottoms are deep golden brown and set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat cooking on other side, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, adding 1 teaspoon oil before cooking and adjusting heat as needed. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
