- 3 cups grated zucchini
- 1 medium sweet onion, grated
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup bacon bits
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- peanut oil or oil of your choice
Add the grated zucchini and grated onion to a cheesecloth lined sieve and squeeze & press out as much of the water as possible. In a large bowl add the squeezed out zucchini & onion, eggs, grated cheese, bacon bits, salt & pepper. Stir to combine well.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Using a large cookie scoop portion out the zucchini mixture into the hot pan, being careful not to over crowd the pan. Press and spread the zucchini mixture just a little. Cook until the bottom side is golden and then carefully flip to cook the other side. Once both sides are golden remove to a paper towel lined cooling rack. Serve hot or as I prefer, chilled for breakfast the following morning.
