Zucchini Patties

Of all the zucchini recipes I've ever made, I think that these are right up there at the top!  Well... except for a nice chocolatey Zuchinni Cake...well, there's no comparison.  But, seriously, these were a huge hit and are quite simple to make!  I came up with the recipe using what I had in the kitchen instead.  Try them!

2 eight - ten inch zucchini, shredded and drained (about 7-8 cups shredded)
2 cups Herb Seasoned Pepperidge Farms Stuffing Crumbs
2 cups shredded ColbyJack cheese
2 large eggs
1 heaping tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper (or more!) 

Drain the shredded zucchini by squeezing it in between paper towels.  Mix all of the ingredients well.  Cover the bottom of a frypan with olive oil.  When it is very hot, drop 1/3 cup scoops of zucchini mixture and flatten like very thick pancakes in the pan.  Cook about 3-4 minutes and turn over like a pancake.  Cook another 3-4 minutes.  Serve hot!  I served with homemade ranch dressing as a dip on the side.  OH MY!  Enjoy!
