Keywords: For gluten-free fritters, substitute regular flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour. Experiment with different cheeses like feta for added flavor or add finely chopped onions and bell peppers for extra texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat in the oven at 350°F for crispiness.
