Cheddar and Bacon Zucchini Cakes

Cheddar and Bacon Zucchini Cakes

I love Zucchini, I pretty much buy at least 4+ when I go to the grocery store.

So yeah I eat it pretty often. I never liked it until last year though.

These are really good, they taste like potato skins (because of the ingredients), minus the potatoes. So it's healthier and yummy! You can always substitute for lower fat ingredients as well. I love them.

INGREDIENTS
4 slices of bacon chopped into small pieces and fried until crisp
1 small zucchini shredded in a box grater
1C shredded cheese
2-3 scallions thinly chopped, white and green parts
2 eggs separated
1/2C white flour
1/2C yellow corn meal
2T sour cream
dash of cayenne pepper
salt

Oil and Butter for frying

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the egg whites. You will want to whip those up until soft peaks form and gently fold those into the mixture. Play with the batter until it is the texture of thick pancake batter.

Heat up a large flat skillet with both a pad of butter and some olive oil until it is hot. Add a generous dollop of the batter to the hot pan and watch carefully and flatten into discs with a spatula. Be sure to fiddle with the cakes so that they don't stick to the bottom. Once they get brown on one side flip.

Place on a plate with paper towels.
