Cream Cheese, Zucchini, And Breadcrumbs Join Forces For The Ultimate Snack
BY JULIA HOLLAND
If you're craving a savory snack, take a hint from TikToker Yummy Little Belly and turn cream cheese, zucchini, and breadcrumbs into flavorful fritters.
Shred the zucchini and squeeze as much moisture out of it as possible so your fritters aren't soggy. Then, combine it with your breadcrumbs and cream cheese.
Use a fourth of a cup of breadcrumbs and half a cup of cream cheese per zucchini to make a thick batter. Create flat balls of dough and fry them for a few minutes on both sides.
The cream cheese will add a tangy, creamy dimension that not only binds the fritters together but balances out the hearty breadcrumbs and fresh zucchini.
As the seasons change, swap out the zucchini for carrot, sweet potato, or beets, or upgrade the fritters with various seasonings, panko bread crumbs, or even a cornmeal crust.
