### 👩🍳 How to Make Turkish Feta Cheese Fritters
#### Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a bowl, mix together the **feta**, **eggs**, **herbs**, **scallion**, and optional grated zucchini. Add the **flour**, **pepper**, and chili flakes. Stir until you have a thick batter—adjust with a little more flour if it’s too wet.
#### Step 2: Heat the Oil
In a large non-stick skillet, heat about 2–3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
#### Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
#### Step 4: Drain and Serve
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of **Greek yogurt**, **garlicky yogurt sauce**, or **a drizzle of lemon juice**.
