These fritters can be made large or small and are delicious on their own with a squeeze of lemon juice or topped with crème fraîche and smoked salmon.
Serves: 6-8

4 eggs 2/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon white pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
450 grams zucchini, grated
150 grams spinach leaves, very finely shredded
5 spring onions, fined chopped 1 cup grated tasty cheese
1⁄2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or dill
olive oil and butter for cooking

METHOD
Blend the eggs, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a food processor.
Combine the zucchini, spinach, spring onions, both cheeses and the herbs in a large bowl. Add the batter and fold together.
