Step 1:
How to make zucchini pancakes with cheese in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Zucchini will suit both young and more mature. The young ones are easy enough to wash, and cut off the hard skin from the old ones and remove the seeds. Then grate the zucchini on a fine grater or grind with a blender. Squeeze the squash mass well with your hands, drain the resulting liquid.
Step 2:
You can take any kind of hard cheese, as long as it is natural and fresh. Grate the cheese. Wash fresh dill and parsley, dry and finely chop with a knife.
Step 3:
In a bowl with grated zucchini, add cheese, herbs and beat in a chicken egg. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients thoroughly so that the mass becomes homogeneous. It will turn out a little liquid, don't let it scare you, flour will fix the situation.
Step 4:
Next, add the sifted wheat flour, mix the mass thoroughly again so that there are no lumps of flour left.
Step 5:
Now the squash dough should become quite thick, thicker than the dough for ordinary pancakes. If the dough still seems runny, then add a couple more tablespoons of flour. The required amount of flour depends on the maturity and juiciness of the squash.
Step 6:
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan (it is better to use a thick-walled frying pan or with a non-stick coating), heat it over medium heat. Spread the dough with a tablespoon, forming round pancakes. Fry them for two minutes on one side, then turn them over and keep them on the fire for another couple of minutes. The pancakes should be browned.
Step 7:
After that, cover the pan with a lid and leave the zucchini pancakes to fry in this way for another 5 minutes so that they are well baked inside. Remove the pancakes from the pan, if it seems that they are too oily, put them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Then transfer to a serving dish and serve with sour cream, tomato or other sauce. Bon appetit!

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! 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.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
