Clean and then shred the zucchini to make 2 cups. Place it on a paper towel or in a strainer to remove as much excess water as possible.
Add Cheddar Cheese, zucchini, and 1 package of Cheddar Bay Busquit Mix, the small herb packet, as well as the chopped onion in a bowl. Add salt and pepper and mix well.

3. Heat an iron skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil.

4. Once it's hot, add a big spoonful of mix to the skillet. Once it starts to brown on the bottom, flatten it out and then flip it to brown the other side.

5. Flip the patties until they are golden brown on both sides.

TRY THIS TASTY DIP

1/4 cup of Mayo
1 squirt of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of dill

Mix 1/4 Mayonaise with a squirt of lemon juice and about 2 teaspoons of dill to make a dip for the patties.

Once the patties have rested for a couple of minutes, they are ready to eat. As always, I encourage you to try different additions. Maybe add a little bit of cooked bacon bits. Red pepper might be tasty and eye-catching. Feed all the senses and enjoy cooking.
