Zucchini Grilled Cheese

By SSmith

Ingredients

• 2 c. grated zucchini
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 c. cornstarch
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for cooking
• 2 c. shredded Cheddar

Preparation

Step 1

1Squeeze excess moisture out of zucchini with a clean kitchen towel. In a medium bowlcombine zucchini with egg, Parmesan, green onions and cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper.
2In large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to layer the bottom of the pan. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture onto one side of the pan and shape into a small square. Repeat to form another patty on the other side.
3Cook until lightly golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat to drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining zucchini mixture. Wipe skillet clean.
4Place two zucchini patties in the same skillet over medium heat. Top both with shredded cheese, then place two more zucchini patties on top to form two sandwiches. Cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side.
5 Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
