Zucchini Corn Patties

Zucchini....a summertime vegetable that is so versatile. Grill it, roast it slice it, pickle it or make it into a delicious patty. This recipe has some of my family's favorite things...corn and dill. A simple meal to prepare, serve these cheesy Zucchini Corn Patties with a simple yogurt/dill sauce or your homemade salsa along with a tomato/cucumber/onion salad. With any leftovers use these patties as your 'bun' and add a slice of cheese and make it into a 'grilled cheese' sandwich. Whichever way you choose to use this recipe, I hope you have fun creating a meal for your family or friends.

ZUCCHINI CORN PATTIES - RECIPE

1 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. Butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. milk
1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
2 cups corn kernels, fresh, canned or frozen
1/2 medium onion, diced finely
1/4 cup dill minced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/8 cup shredded Parmesan
1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese ( or your favourite sharp cheese)
Whisk together flour, baking powder, shredded cheeses, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk eggs, melted butter and milk. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in grated zucchini, onions and corn until well blended.
In a large non stick frying pan add 2-3 Tablespoons of oil and heat on medium heat and drop large spoonfuls of zucchini/corn batter, flatten to 1/4 inch thick and sauté until nicely browned. ( about 2 minutes per side)Flip over and cook the other side until golden brown.
I like them baked as well. For baking: preheat oven to 350 degrees and drop zucchini/corn batter onto a greased parchment paper lined baking sheet. Shape into 1/4 inch thick round patties and bake for about 15- 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until patties are a nice golden brown.
Serve with salsa, or a yogurt/dill sauce
