Ingredients
• The Base: 2 medium Zucchini (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds).
• The Filling: 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar or Mozzarella (shredded from a block for the best melt).
• The Flourless Crust: 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp Garlic Powder.
• The Bind: 2 large Eggs (beaten).
• Healthy Fats: 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Avocado Oil for the pan.
• Flavor: Sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Preparation Steps
1. Prep the Rounds: Slice your zucchini into even rounds, just like the ones on your wooden cutting board. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the “crust” sticks perfectly.
2. The Sandwich: Take two zucchini rounds and place a generous pinch of shredded cheese between them to create a little “slider” sandwich.
3. The Flourless Coating: Dip each zucchini sandwich into the beaten egg, then dredge it thoroughly in the Parmesan and garlic powder mixture. This creates that beautiful golden exterior seen in your finished photo.
4. The Sizzle: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sliders in the pan.
5. Golden Finish: Fry for 3–4 minutes per side. You are looking for a deep golden-brown crust and cheese that is bubbling out the sides.
6. Serve Hot: These are best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is at its peak “magic” stretch.
