Step 1:
How to fry zucchini with egg in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Zucchini for such a dish is better to use young, they have a tender skin and there is no formed core with seeds yet. Wash the zucchini, cut off the tips on both sides. Cut the zucchini into circles no more than 0.5 centimeters thick. If the vegetables are large, then it is better to cut the circles into two or more parts so that it is more convenient to place them in a frying pan.
Step 2:
Beat a chicken egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. If desired, you can add some more seasoning, spices and grated garlic, if you like the spicy and spicy taste. With a fork or a hand whisk, beat the chicken egg so that the protein is completely dispersed, and the mixture becomes homogeneous in consistency. Pour wheat flour into a flat plate.
Step 3:
Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan for frying. It needs to be poured so much that the pieces of zucchini up to half in height are in oil, fried well and do not start burning, since flour in a frying pan in the absence of oil will quickly start burning and spoil the taste of the finished dish. Dip each piece of zucchini in the egg mixture so that it is completely covered with it.
Step 4:
Then put the squash in a bowl with flour and roll it on all sides.
Step 5:
Put zucchini in egg and flour batter in preheated oil in a frying pan. Fry each batch of zucchini slices over medium heat until golden brown, then turn over and also fry on the second side.
Step 6:
To make the squash soft and juicy inside, cover the pan with a lid and keep it on the fire for a few more minutes. Then remove the lid. But it is better not to do this, otherwise the crispy crust on the zucchini may become soft. Therefore, it is better to cut the pieces of zucchini into thin circles. Remove the finished zucchini on a plate with a paper towel — it will absorb excess fat.
Step 7:
The dish is ready. Serve the zucchini fried in egg to the table with sauce, mayonnaise or sour cream, fresh vegetables and bread. Enjoy your meal!

Which zucchini will suit best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
