  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or cooking fat

  4. 4.

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan, and when it's hot, spoon the squash mixture to form fritters of your desired size; 1/4 cup per fritter works well.

  5. 5.

    When the fritters are crispy and browned on one side, about 5 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and continue cooking on the other side until crisped, about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.
