Savory Zucchini Cakes

THESE ARE SO DELICIOUS. You have to make them. You'll thank me later.

This is what they looked like when they came off the skillet:

This is what they looked like about four minutes later after Jeff and Katie grabbed a couple of forks:

They're like crab cakes... except with zucchini. These would be perfect as appetizers, or as a vegetarian dish. They're just delicious!

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
1 large zucchini, grated and excess water squeezed out (squeeze between your hands or paper towels)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
Sprinkle of ground nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp... less is more - it will take over the flavor quickly if you do too much!)
1/4 tsp paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
1. Combine everything except the olive oil in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Form the mixture into 8 patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Try not to devour them too quickly!

Jeff helped me squeeze out the water...
