Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
-
1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
-
1 medium carrot, finely grated
-
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely diced
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup flour (or breadcrumbs to bind)
-
2 tbsp fresh herbs (such as parsley or green onions), chopped
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
1-2 tbsp oil or butter for cooking
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Vegetables: In a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much excess liquid from the grated zucchini as possible to ensure your patties hold their shape.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, diced bell pepper, shredded cheese, flour (or breadcrumbs), fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper.
-
Add the Eggs: Crack the two eggs right into the center of the vegetable mixture. Using a fork or spatula, mix everything together thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable batter forms.
-
Form the Patties: Scoop up portions of the mixture and shape them into neat, oval-shaped patties or logs with your hands.
-
Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are crisp, golden brown, and cooked completely through.
-
Serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate for a moment, then serve warm on a platter with your favorite dipping sauce!
