Method

It needed more eggs to stick together.I baked it in a 9x13 pan to make it easier.

The end result was tasty, but only the adults liked them. I found them difficult to make because they didn't stick together. The recipe made a huge batch, which required me to cook them in several batches. Not worth the time & effort.

isabelbrinck 4 Vegetable Fritters

april 20, 2009 | I would make this recipe again

These turned out tasty! The scallions are great in combination with the other flavours. I only managed to make 3 patties per serving (12 patties for 4 servings), compared to the 4 described in the recipe. Don't expect these to be crisp, but even though they seem soft after 12 minutes, they're still in good shape to be flipped. I did use parchment paper on a disposable cookie sheet. After the second 12 minutes, I didn' think they looked golden enough, so I flipped on the broiler just for a couple of minutes. I recommend not salting them very much during cooking and certainly not after they're done. The scallions add bite and remember that parmesan is high in sodium. They are also more filling than they may seem!

These were hit and miss. I loved them, but I was the only one in my house. I ended up cooking them longer because they weren't quite ready to flip.

I made these for a dinner party & served them on top of baby spinach with a honey mustard vinegrette. I made a yogourt sauce to go on top of the patties & sprinkled some crispy bacon on them. They were absolutely awesome!! To die for. Will make them over & over again
