Zucchini with cheese tastes better than meat


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prep the zucchini:
    • Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt.
    • Let sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out water.
    • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
  2. Mix the batter:
    • In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, shredded cheese, Parmesan, flour/breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, and pepper.
    • Add herbs if using.
  3. Cook:
    • Pour mixture into a greased baking dish (or form patties for pan-frying).
    • For baking: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.
    • For pan-frying: Heat oil in a pan, spoon batter in rounds, and cook each side for 3–4 minutes until crispy.
  4. Serve:
    • Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

💡 Tips:

  • Add a pinch of chili flakes if you like some heat.
  • You can also turn this into a casserole by layering with tomato sauce and extra cheese on top.
