Categories     Bread     Fry     Asparagus     Boil

Yield makes 10 to 12 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bunches medium asparagus spears, peeled at the base (about 22 spears)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.

These fritters are amazing! I love the crispy outside and the tender inside. I also love the flavor of the asparagus.

These fritters were okay. I think they would have been better if I had used a different type of cheese. I also found them to be a little too salty.

I've made these fritters several times and they're always a hit. They're the perfect appetizer or side dish. I highly recommend them.

These fritters were a disaster! They were soggy and undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The fritters were really tasty. I'll definitely be making them again.

These fritters were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some chopped onion and garlic next time.

My first time making asparagus fritters and they turned out great! I used fresh asparagus from my garden and the flavor was incredible. I'll definitely be making these again.

These asparagus fritters are amazing! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love serving them with a side of roasted vegetables.

Just tried this recipe and it was delicious! The fritters were light and fluffy, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these asparagus fritters last night and they were a hit! My family loved them. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with a dipping sauce made of sour cream, mayonnaise, and dill. They were so good that I'm al
