How To Make Malakoffs

gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: emmental cheese

Emmental is a more affordable Swiss cheese with similar melting properties.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal can bind ingredients and reduce cholesterol.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Water can be used for a lighter batter, though it may affect flavor.

Grate the gruyère cheese and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.

Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

Fold in the grated cheese and minced garlic, mixing until evenly distributed.

Chill the batter in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce or on their own.
