Step-by-Step Instructions for Zucchini Grilled Cheese
- Begin by grating the zucchini using a box grater, then place the grated zucchini in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture for about 1-2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry zucchini, large egg, freshly grated Parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix until a cohesive dough-like texture forms.
- Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add in the fresh churned garlic butter. Allow the butter to melt and bubble for about 1-2 minutes.
- Scoop out portions of the zucchini mixture and shape them into patties, about ½ inch thick. Carefully place them in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Once both sides are golden and crispy, stack shredded cheddar cheese between two zucchini patties in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove the Zucchini Grilled Cheese from the skillet, let them cool for about 60 seconds, then cut in half and serve hot.

Notes
Ensure zucchini is super dry to avoid soggy patties. Maintain medium heat for even cooking and consider adding herbs or spices for extra flavor.
