Zucchini Pancakes with Cheese Recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or green onions

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini well and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean towel and gently squeeze out extra moisture. This helps the pancakes become golden and slightly crisp.

  2. Add the zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Crack in the eggs and stir well until combined.

  3. Add mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together.

  4. Slowly add the flour and stir until a thick batter forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add 1–2 extra tablespoons of flour.

  5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter.

  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and flatten gently with the back of a spoon to form round pancakes.

  7. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese melts beautifully inside.

  8. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter.

Serving Ideas

  • Sour cream

These zucchini pancakes are soft inside, cheesy, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
