Description
Zucchini Grilled Cheese made with crispy garlic butter zucchini patties and melted cheddar cheese is a low-carb twist on the classic sandwich.
Ingredients
2 cups grated zucchini
1 large egg
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
¼ cup cornstarch
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 T Fresh Churned Garlic Butter
1–2 cups shredded Cheddar
Instructions
1. Squeeze moisture out of grated zucchini using a cheesecloth or kitchen towel.
2. Place dry zucchini in a mixing bowl and add egg, Parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix well with a fork until combined into a dough-like texture.
4. Heat garlic butter in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Scoop half the zucchini mixture onto one side of the skillet and shape into a patty; repeat for the second patty.
6. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
7. Top one patty with shredded cheddar cheese, then place the second patty on top to form a sandwich.
8. Cook another 3 minutes until cheese is fully melted.
9. Remove from pan, let cool for 60 seconds, then slice and serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, mix in fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
Use mozzarella or Havarti for a different cheese profile.
Best served fresh, but patties can be made ahead and stored.
