Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep leeks: Clean and slice the leeks into thin rounds. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over low heat, add leeks, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Mix batter: In a bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then fold in mozzarella and oat flour. Season with salt and black pepper until well mixed.
  3. Combine: Fold the sautéed leeks into the batter gently, ensuring even incorporation.
  4. Fry fritters: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Make sauce: Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, parsley, and a bit of salt and pepper in a bowl. Blend until smooth.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve warm fritters alongside the sauce as an appetizer or snack.
