Print Recipe

A delightful twist on a classic comfort food, transforming zucchini into crispy grilled cheese patties filled with melted cheddar and Parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh churned garlic butter
  • 1–2 cups shredded Cheddar

Instructions

  1. Squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel.
  2. Transfer the dry zucchini into a mixing bowl, add the egg, grated Parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix everything thoroughly until it forms a cohesive dough-like texture.
  4. Heat the garlic butter in a skillet over medium heat until it melts.
  5. Scoop half of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, shaping it into a patty. Repeat for the second patty.
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Place a mound of shredded cheddar on one patty, then top it with the second patty. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  8. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the zucchini mixture in advance and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Experiment by using air fryers for quicker cooking or baking them in the oven.
