This amazing breakfast just kind of fell into my lap after an amazing, long, 4th of July weekend of grilling. I happened to have some peppers, tomatoes, and avocado leftover, as well as a few crappy steaks and some zucchini!
Zucchini fritters are pretty easy, but a bit time consuming. You have to grate the zucchini, let it dry out a bit somehow, and then pan fry it up a bit.
Grate your zucchini, I'd use about 2 medium ones to serve 4-6 people as a side dish and one egg. I used one small one and one egg which made more of a frittata fritter (which was still quite delicious, use one egg per zucchini if you want frittata fritters).
Sprinkle with salt and then place zucchini shards in a strainer type thing for 5-10 minutes. I used coffee filters but you could also squeeze it out more successfully (my filters ripped open a bit during the squeezening) with some cheesecloth. At the end, squeeze the shit out of it. You will likely notice quite a lot of water coming out.
Mix with one egg for every two medium zucchini, 1 TB flour per zucchini, and about 1/8th tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper. I added a crushed garlic clove, but that is up to you. Sometime I grate a TB or two of onion or shallot into the mix.
Then you just pan fry it up in a few TB oil, on medium heat, flipping after a couple minutes, when browned. Try not to flip too much. Just be patient. You can always do a tester to see about how long it takes to brown on each side. I usually just feel it out, and bigger dollops of the mixture will need to cook longer. I like to keep them smallish, a wee bit bigger than silver dollar pancake sized.
I served it with some leftover green goddess dressing and a simple tomato, poblano, garlic, green onion and avocado salsa. I may have added some fresh lime juice as well. Also the steak and eggs. Holy shit, what a nice breakfast.
My name's Lyndsey and I grew up in Hawaii, Michigan, Iowa and California, which led to my varied culinary loves and styles. From hearty Midwestern comfort fare to taste explosions inspired by my Japanese and Hawaiian family members: Ono style. I favor bold spicy foods, and made-from-scratch, fresh from the garden cooking. I also love crafting and making all sorts of non-food items. Warning: you may encounter occasional, colorful vulgarity.
