Keto Zucchini Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
This innovative recipe swaps out the carb-heavy bread for slices of wholesome zucchini, making it a gluten-free and keto-friendly option that's as tasty as it is nourishing.
Ingredients
- Grated zucchini, 400 grams
- Egg 1 Large
- Freshly grated Parmesan100 grams
- 2 thinly sliced green onions
- Xanthan Gum 50 grams
- Kosher SaltAs per your taste
- Freshly grounded black pepper 1/8 tbsp
- Olive oil: 4 tbsp
- Shredded Cheddar 400 grams
Instructions
- Gently squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
- Next, in a medium bowl, mix the zucchini with an egg, Parmesan, green onions, and cornstarch. Then season the mixture with some salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Now take a large skillet and pour enough vegetable oil to layer the bottom of the pan. Scoop about 1/4 of the zucchini mixture onto one side of the pan and shape it into a small square.
- You can place two zucchini patties of the same size in the same skillet and cook them over medium heat and cook them together.
- Cook until the patties are lightly golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the patties from the heat to drain on paper towels, and repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture. Wipe the skillet clean before shallow frying the next batch of patties.
- Preparing the second batch, top both the patties with shredded cheese, then place the previously cooked patties on top to form two sandwiches. Cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side.
- Cut in half and serve immediately.
