Crispy and golden zucchini cakes made with fresh veggies, cheese, and a hint of spice. These easy-to-make patties are perfect as appetizers, snacks, or a light meal. Customize with your favorite additions like bacon, corn, or herbs for extra flavor!

Ingredients

2 cups grated zucchini

3 eggs

½ cup finely chopped onion (medium)

¾ cup finely chopped red or green bell pepper

½ cup grated cheese (cheddar, swiss or jack)

¼ cup fine bread crumbs

¼ cup panko bread crumbs*

¼ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce to taste (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Mix all ingredients, except oil and butter in a bowl.

The mixture should be just firm enough to form into patties.

If it is too thick, add another egg.

If it is too thin, add more bread crumbs.

Heat oil and butter in a frying pan.

Form balls of the zucchini mixture about 2 inches in diameter then flatten into thin cakes.

Fry until browned on both sides.

You can add corn, bacon pieces, chopped ham, or other spices and herbs.

You can also add some flour if you prefer to make the cakes gooey.

Servings

Makes about 8–10 zucchini cakes

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
🍪 Cookie Policy: Cookies are only used for registered users for the keep logged-in function, if you select it. They are also used to let us know that you don't want cookies set. Ironic, ain't it!
