Ingredients

- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 oz grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon instant baking powder (for savory preparations)
- 1 pinch salt
Tools
- Pan
- Blender
Steps
Start by washing and roughly chopping the round zucchini into large pieces. Put it in the blender and blend until fairly smooth.
Add the eggs, milk, flour, grated Parmesan, baking powder and a pinch of salt, then blend again until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter.
Heat a nonstick pan and pour a ladleful of batter for each pancake.
Cook over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
Our savory zucchini pancakes are ready. Serve them hot, perhaps accompanied by fresh cheeses or cured meats…
Enjoy your meal.
Storage and tips …
Savory zucchini pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for 2–3 days in an airtight container.
Before serving, you can quickly reheat them in a pan or in the microwave to make them soft again.
For a more rustic texture, pulse the zucchini less in the blender or grate it by hand.
You can substitute the Parmesan with Pecorino or another strongly flavored grated cheese.
For a lighter version, use semi-skimmed milk and slightly reduce the amount of cheese.
