Chef tips
For a softer texture, grate the carrot on the fine side of the grater. If the mixture feels too wet, add 1 extra tablespoon of ground oats.
Substitutions
You can replace the mozzarella with another mild melting cheese. Parsley can be swapped for very finely chopped chives. If you do not have yogurt, use the same amount of thick ricotta.
