Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the spinach and scallions.
- Grate the cheddar cheese if it isn’t already grated.
- Gather all your ingredients in one place.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
- Add the cottage cheese and milk to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the mixture, stirring as you go to make sure there are no lumps.
- Gently fold in the chopped spinach, chopped scallions, and grated cheddar cheese. Ensure all components are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Usually, this means letting it heat up for about 5 minutes or until the indicator light shows it’s ready.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the pie maker compartments, filling each to about three-quarters full to allow for expansion.
- Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
- Carefully open the pie maker and check if the fritters are done. If they need a bit more time, close the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes as necessary.
- Once cooked, use a spatula to carefully remove the fritters from the pie maker.
- Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the spinach and scallions to ensure even distribution within the fritter batter.
- If the mixture seems too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Preheat the pie maker for a few minutes before adding the batter for best results.
- Use a non-stick spray or lightly oil the pie maker plates to prevent the fritters from sticking.
- Cook the fritters for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Experiment with additional ingredients such as diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or herbs to customize the fritters to your taste.
- Serve the fritters with a dollop of sour cream, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a side of salsa for added flavor.
