- 1 large egg
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
Preparation
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, cheese, egg, green onions, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly. Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side.

Notes
For batch cooking, double the recipe and freeze uncooked scoops for quick frying later. For a lower-fat method, bake at 425°F until golden, flipping once.
