Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid overfilling the zucchini holes, as the filling may bulge out during cooking. Keep the surface flat and even for a neat appearance.
• Gently tap the stuffed zucchini after filling to prevent the filling from separating from the zucchini during heating.
• Unlike regular fritters, coating with breadcrumbs at the end enhances richness and intensifies the crispy outside, tender inside texture.
