"You might find yourself purchasing zucchini in your grocery store all year around just to make these, they are *that* good! --- you will be lucky if these even make it to the table lol! you may also add in some canned corn niblets or some cooked rice, although garlic powder may be used I strongly suggest to use fresh minced garlic, this recipe is very forgiving so don't worry about the the exact measurments--- these are delicious served with sour cream :) also take a look at my recipe#138173"

These are AMAZING!!!! I used a vidalia onion, so there is some sweetness to the patties, and also added some mushrooms and cornmeal when I thought they were going to be too watery. Based on some reviews saying they were kind of greasy, I cut back on the cheese a bit and opted to bake them at 350 for 20 min, turning halfway, and they were perfect. The egg and cheese kept them moist and they browned up nicely. I will be making these again!

These were amazing! I tried them both ways: fried in olive oil, and baked in the oven at 350F in a pan lined with parchment paper. They turned out great both ways, so I think I will bake them in the oven from now on because it's the healthier option since it's oil-free. <br/>They tasted great fried in olive oil as well, but they turn out a bit greasier than oven baked patties. I'll definatly be making these again!

I had such high hopes for this...it smelled AMAZING, and seemed a delicious mix of ingredients. Unfortunately, it came out a greasy, disgusting mess. I followed the directions exactly, and was very disappointed in the result.

Absolutely fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly, only I poured all of the batter into an 8 in. square pan and baked it. Delicious! Everyone loved it.

Excellent! Followed the recipe except used dried chives and onion powder instead of green onions. Also, after shredding the zucchini, I sprinkled with a little salt and let it sit. Then whirled it in my salad spinner and then squeezed out every last bit of liquid in a clean kitchen towel. Super yummy!

Great recipe and yes, very forgiving and easy to modify. I used cheddar because I didn't have any mozzarella (and may not have used a full cup, I just tossed a chunk of cheese into the food processor after I was done shredding zucchini) and I didn't have onion so skipped it and also didn't have any seasoned salt so just used sea salt instead. I also noticed after dropping the first couple batches into the pan that the mix was getting kind of soupy (squeeze all the moisture you can out of your zucchini and then squeeze a bit more!!) so added a couple more tablespoons of flour to thicken it up which worked great. Due to the reviews saying the patties came out way too greasy, I just brushed my pan with a light coat of oil rather than dumping straight into the pan and they came out crispy and delicious! Definitely will use this again to help with the crazy abundance of zucchini we have this summer :o)

These were a hit! Family of vegetarians, except for hubby - but he actually loved them! I didn't have time to go out to get the Parmesan cheese, so I only used mozzarella. They were a little greasy, so I put paper towels between layers as they came out of the pan. Then, I transferred them to a clean dish lined with yet another paper towel. I used cayenne pepper instead of black pepper to give them a 'kick'. Yum!!

This is so tasty. It is probably the best zucchini recipe I have eaten. I used 3 cheese instead of parmesan cheese and I halved recipe as I purchased 2 zucchini and they only made 2 1/2 cups of grated zucchini But for my serving sizes that made 3 servings.Oh just read reviews normaly I do that first a marinara dipping sauce sounds good.

Made these today. The only change I made was to use ground flaxseed instead of the flour... to keep it low carb.It was awesome; tasty, and definitely a keeper! Even my veggie fussy hubby liked it! Thanks!
