Zucchini Fritters
Zucchini fritters are sort of like potato latkes. I have created this recipe with more egg and less flour, which makes them thinner and crispier. They are quick and easy, and very nutritious. They make a perfect fast dinner that is very economical. You can also serve them for breakfast or brunch. They are packed with protein and vegetable goodness. Kids love them, and this is a great way to get more vegetables in your kids. Serve them with plain yogurt, sour cream, or a quick blender Hollandaise sauce (as shown in the photo). We had these for dinner with toast and jam, it was so simple, yet so very tasty.

Combine grated zucchini, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
