Description

These savory zucchini pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish, offering a unique twist on the classic pancake. The foundation of these pancakes is finely grated zucchini, which lends a subtle sweetness and moistness to the overall texture. When combined with egg, cheese, and a thoughtful blend of seasonings, the zucchini transforms into a flavorful and satisfying meal.

The preparation is simple: the zucchini is carefully grated to ensure a delicate texture, then mixed with the other ingredients to create a batter that is both light and substantial. The cheese melts beautifully during cooking, adding a creamy richness and a delightful savory note that complements the earthiness of the zucchini. The seasonings, carefully chosen, enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables and cheese, creating a harmonious balance that will appeal to a wide range of palates.

Once the batter is ready, it's baked until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. The baking process brings out the inherent sweetness of the zucchini while allowing the cheese to melt and create a tempting, golden crust. The aroma alone is enough to entice anyone to the table.

These zucchini pancakes can be enjoyed in various ways. They are delicious served warm, fresh from the oven, as part of a hearty breakfast or brunch. They also make a wonderful light lunch or snack, offering a nutritious and satisfying alternative to traditional options.

For those who enjoy meal prepping, these pancakes store well in the refrigerator for several days, making them a convenient option for busy individuals. Whether you prefer them plain or with a dollop of your favorite condiment, these savory zucchini pancakes are sure to become a new favorite. Their versatility, ease of preparation, and delightful flavor make them a winning choice for any occasion.

The subtle sweetness of the zucchini, combined with the savory notes of the cheese and seasonings, creates a truly irresistible dish.

Instructions

    1.
    Grate the zucchini into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 25 minutes to draw out excess moisture. This step is crucial for preventing soggy pancakes.
    2.
    Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Finely dice the shallot and sauté until tender and translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.
    3.
    Wrap the zucchini in a clean dishcloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, sautéed shallots, cheeses, egg, and black pepper. Mix well.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
    5.
    Divide the batter into equal portions on the prepared baking sheet, forming discs about ½-inch thick. Leave space between each pancake.
    6.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. For even browning, flip the pancakes halfway through the baking time. Let cool slightly before serving.
