Original Recipe Yield 10 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 large ripe fresh tomatoes, sliced
  • sea salt (such as Fleur de sel) for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Place the zucchini, flour, baking soda, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, marjoram, basil, black pepper, and kosher salt into a large bowl, and stir to thoroughly mix. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with buttermilk, and stir the egg mixture into the zucchini mixture to make a batter.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers with heat, and gently spoon about 1/4 cup of zucchini batter per fritter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side; drain on paper towels, and set the fritters aside to keep warm.
  3. To serve, place a slice of mozzarella cheese and a slice of tomato on top of each fritter; sprinkle with sea salt.
