Ingredients
3 cups (360g) shredded butternut squash
1 cup (100g) shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
2/3 cup (85g) all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded squash, cheese, flour, eggs, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of oil. Spoon 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, flattening the mounds into 3-inch circles.
Step 4
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt immediately after removing from the skillet. Keep warm in an oven preheated to 95°C (200°F) while cooking the remaining fritters. Add more oil as needed during cooking. Serve warm.
