Zucchini Patties

Shirleen Chandler

1 c. Bisquick                                                                                        2 eggs beaten

1/2 c. shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese                    2 c. shredded zucchini

1/8 tsp. salt                                                                                         2 T. chopped onion (optional)

                                                                                                                1 T. butter or margarine

Combine Bisquick, cheese, salt, eggs, zucchini and onion in a mixing bowl. Blend well. Melt butter in a large skillet. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Place browned patties on a paper towel. Makes 13 patties. These freeze well and can take out 1 or 2 at a time and heat in the microwave like pancakes. For an Italian flair, dip it in marinara sauce. To reduce calories, use cooking spray instead of butter.
