Zucchini Cheese Pancakes

This is actually a recipe I was going to do for the last Baking Through the Alphabet series and I actually did make it then, but ended up posting another recipe. These however, have become a staple in the freezer as they’re super easy to make and taste really good.

Start by beating the eggs with some oil, salt, and pepper. Next you’ll stir in the herbs, scallions, shredded zucchini, and cheese. Once that’s all mixed, add in the flour and give it one last stir to bring everything together.

Lightly grease a heated griddle (I used a cast iron pan) and drop about 1/4 cup of the batter for each fritter. They recommended using a muffin/cookie scoop and that worked perfectly. Let them cook for about 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and you see bubbles forming on top. Flip them over and let them cook another 3-4 minutes.

That’s it. Super simple but they have a lot of great flavor and it’s a nice use to incorporate some veggies into your bakes. They were great right off the stovetop, but I also freeze them (once they’re cool) and then let them thaw overnight and pop them into the microwave for about 30 seconds (or until warm throughout). Love these!
