How to Make Herbed Ricotta Fritters

  1. Place the ricotta in a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to drain excess moisture.
  2. Gently spoon the drained ricotta into a clean bowl. Add the egg yolks and whisk until well combined.
  3. Stir in the flour, herbs, and 1 1/2 cups of the parmesan cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and keep it warm.
  5. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Once the oil is hot, drop rounded tablespoons of the ricotta mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Cook the fritters for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, turning frequently with a spatula.
  8. Transfer the cooked fritters to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Keep them warm in the oven while you cook the remaining fritters.
  9. Once all the fritters are cooked, arrange them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious herbed ricotta fritters!
