Oh, The Crispiness Of Golden Zucchini Bites!
- 5 years ago
You'll Need (for 8):
- 1 large zucchini
- vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup spinach leaves, cooked and drained
- 3 oz ham cubes (alternatively, pancetta)
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella
- salt and pepper
- ¾ cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups bread crumbs
Here's How:
1. Wash the zucchini, remove the ends and slice into eight thick circles. Remove the inner flesh from each, leaving a sturdy ring behind. From the center circles, cut into small cubes.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown the zucchini cubes. When finished, add to a small mixing bowl and combine with cream cheese, cooked and drained spinach, ham and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Spoon the mixture into the center of each zucchini ring. Dip each first in flour, then beaten egg, and lastly bread crumbs. Fry in hot oil until both sides are golden brown.
