Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini bread crumbs optional
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced white onion
  • breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Mix everything but the flour together. 

  2. Get a well oiled griddle ready for some frying, heat over medium-high heat.

  3. Mix in the flour. 

  4. When the griddle is a nice medium-high temperature, make some pancakes that are fairly thin, you want to cook them through. Make them about 1/4 of an inch thickness.

  5. The batter is too soggy to really make patties to dip in breadcrumbs,  so you can sprinkle the crumbs on top when you have them on the griddle. Gives it that little extra crunch. 

  6. Cook them until they are a dark golden brown then flip them, cooking the other side until golden brown as well.
