Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2 eggs
100g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
3/4 cup feta cheese
170g
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
150g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
120g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour.
- Crack 2 eggs into the bowl and whisk them into the flour until well combined.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
2. Incorporate the Cheese & Vegetables:
- Add 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
- Fold in 1 cup of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil leaves.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese.
3. Seasoning:
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
4. Cooking the Fritters:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan, cooking a few fritters at a time and ensuring they don't touch.
- Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the fritters carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the fritters are cooked through.
5. Serving:
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm, either as-is or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and better consistency.

- Use fresh basil leaves for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor.

- Pat the sun-dried tomatoes dry with a paper towel if they are packed in oil to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

- If you want crunchier fritters, you can fry them instead of baking them.

- Serve the fritters with a light yogurt dip or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

These sun-dried tomato, feta, and basil fritters are a perfect blend of flavors and textures that make for an irresistible dish. With just a few simple steps and readily available ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these savory fritters that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Enjoy them hot, straight from the pan, or pack them for a delightful picnic treat. Happy cooking!
