- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 4 slices sugar-free bacon, cooked & chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or green onion

Nutritional Info (per serving):
- Serving Size: 2 fritters
- Calories: 220
- Protein: 12g
- Fat: 16g
- Net Carbs: 4g
Directions:
1. Prep the zucchini: Start by grating your zucchini and tossing it into a bowl with the salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture. Once it’s ready, squeeze out any excess water with a cheesecloth or a trusty kitchen towel—this step is essential for crispy fritters!
2. Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine your squeezed zucchini with the eggs, almond flour, mozzarella, cheddar, chopped bacon, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated and looks like a delicious, cheesy batter.
3. Form fritters: Grab about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each fritter and shape them into patties. Don’t worry about perfection – a little rustic charm is what we’re going for!
4. Fry ‘em up: Heat some olive oil or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add your fritters and fry for about 3–4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. You’ll love that sizzle!
5. Serve it up: Stack those fritters high on a plate and top with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or garlic aioli. Don’t forget to sprinkle some extra herbs on top for that fresh finish. Enjoy while they're warm!
Give these fritters a try, and elevate your breakfast game!
