Ingredients
2
cups
shredded zucchini
packed
¼
cup
red onion
finely diced
1
cup
feta cheese
crumbled
½
cup
panko bread crumbs
whole wheat
2
eggs
beaten
1
teaspoon
olive oil
Instructions
Spread zucchini shreds out on a towel. Place another towel over the top of the shreds and press out excess water.
Add zucchini shreds, red onion, feta cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and eggs to a bowl and stir to combine.
Compress about ¼ cup of the zucchini mixture in your hands to form a small patty. It does not need to be flat at this point.
Spread a thin layer of olive oil in the bottom of a frying pan over medium heat.
Add zucchini patties to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. The patties are very delicate. Try to turn only once.
Remove to a paper plate lined with paper towels and cool for about 5 minutes. Cakes will firm-up more as they cool.
