Leek & Feta Fritters

Leek and Feta Fritters

These leek and feta fritters are so easy to make. You can add extras like onion, garlic and wholegrain mustard if you want to spruce it up a bit. I usually serve them with fresh spinach and a dollop of yoghurt for a light lunch.

  • 2 leeks

  • Knob of butter

  • 70g feta cheese

  • 50g cream cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 100g self raising flower

Method

  1. In a frying pan, cook the chopped leeks in butter slowly on a medium to low heat for about 10-15 mins until completely softened

  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream cheese

  3. Add the sieved flour and baking powder

  4. Once the leeks have cooked and cooled down slightly on the side, add the leeks and feta to the mixture

  5. Season with salt, pepper and fresh parsley

  6. Add a tbsp of olive oil to a frying pan on a medium heat
