  • 1 large zucchini, finely chopped

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 3 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup freshly grated Romano cheese

  • 1 cup 2% milk

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, onion, eggs, Romano cheese, milk, and flour. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.

  2. Heat about 1 tablespoon of shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the skillet, and flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.
