ZUCCHINI PANCAKES without eggs, filled with ham and provolone, quick skillet recipe, idea for dinner or a tasty snack even for kids.
Have you ever had a zucchini in the fridge and didn’t know what to do with it? I have, and often! That’s how these savory zucchini pancakes without eggs were born, a simple, super quick and especially a fridge-clearing recipe: no eggs, no hassle, just ingredients almost everyone has at home.
Zucchini pancakes without eggs are a smart and quick idea to bring a tasty and light dish to the table. The base is soft yet firm thanks to the yogurt, the zucchini fits perfectly, and the filling with provolone and cooked ham is what melts everyone’s hearts (literally 😄). The result? Mini ‘sandwiches’ melting in pancake form, crispy on the outside and soft inside.
They are made in less than 15 minutes, all in a skillet, and are great as a main course, brunch, appetizer or quick lunch. You can make them ahead and reheat them quickly, or enjoy them cold as finger food: basically, one of those go-to recipes to jot down right away!

In a bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, yogurt, flour, yeast, salt, pepper, oil, and chopped herbs.
Mix until you get a thick and sticky batter.Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet.
Spoon in a dollop of batter and spread slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.Do the same with the rest of the batter (you should get 6 discs).
On 3 still-warm pancakes, place a slice of provolone and a slice of ham, then top with another pancake to create ‘sandwiches’.
Serve immediately, or let them cool: they are great even when warm.
