LARGE EGGS:

• Large eggs help the fritters maintain their form by acting as a binder. For optimal consistency, make sure they are at room temperature.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• Cheddar cheese gives the fritters a very rich, tangy taste and aids in their melting. If you want a cheesier, stretcher texture, you may also add mozzarella.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• Parmesan cheese boosts the cheddar by adding a nutty, pungent taste. We have to grate the cheese by our self to get the best flavor.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Almond flour helps absorb moisture and gives the fritters a crispy texture without the carbohydrates of regular flour.

GARLIC POWDER:

• Garlic powder gives the fritters a delicious dimension. You may also sprinkle a small quantity of onion powder to make them more flavor ful.

SALT & PEPPER:

• We can add salt and pepper to taste to counterbalance the richness of the cheese and cauliflower.

GREEN ONIONS OR CHIVES:

• We can use chopped green onions or chives give the fritters a splash of color and a little onion taste.

AVOCADO OR OLIVE OIL:

• We can use the avocado or olive oil to cook the fritters. Both oils are ideal for pan-frying because of their high smoke points.
