Old-Fashioned Italian Zucchini Fritters

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with a wire whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded and diced zucchini then season with salt pepper Parmesan cheese and basil. Add the flour a little at a time stirring between additions until no dry lumps remain.

Heat the oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Drop the batter into the hot oil by the spoonful a few at a time making sure not to overcrowd the oil. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
