Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced thin
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (120 grams)
  • 1/2 cup milk use whatever milk you have on hand
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • dash of pepper
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded (113 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan grated (50 grams)

Instructions

  • Place your thinly sliced zucchini in a bowl, lightly salting them as you layer them in the bowl and add more. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    2 medium zucchini, 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • Remove the zucchini from the bowl, a few at a time, and squeeze out the excess water as you go, the same way you would squeeze water from a sponge.
  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Then mix in the flour, milk, garlic salt, and pepper. Finally, stir in the cheese.
    4 eggs, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, dash of pepper, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan
  • Heat a skillet over low to medium heat.
  • Add about 5 zucchini slices to the batter. Coat them completely and pull them out with a fork.
  • Spray the skillet with cooking spray and cook the zucchini slices for about 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with more zucchini, adding more cooking spray as needed.
  • These are best when eaten while warm.
