Ingredients You’ll Need
To get started, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded zucchini: Fresh zucchini is key here. Be sure to drain any excess moisture after shredding to prevent soggy patties.
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese: This adds a rich flavor and a bit of gooeyness to your patties. You can also experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist.
- 1/3 cup biscuit/baking mix: This acts as a binding agent and helps hold everything together. It also gives the patties a nice texture.
- 2 tablespoons grated onion: The onion adds a nice aromatic flavor that complements the zucchini.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Essential for bringing out the flavors of all the ingredients.
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil: This herb adds a lovely, fragrant touch to the patties. You could also use fresh basil if available.
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper: A little bit of pepper adds a nice kick without overpowering the dish.
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature: The eggs act as a binder, helping to hold the patties together.
- 2 tablespoons butter: For frying the patties and giving them a delicious golden brown color.
