Ingredients
- 3 cups zucchini sliced, about 2-3 medium sized zucchini
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs plain
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup flour all purpose
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with the water in a shallow dish, like a pie plate. Set aside.
- In another shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Place the flour in another shallow dish.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat.
- Place each zucchini slice in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture. Shake off the excess at each step.
- Place the breaded zucchini slices in the hot pan, waiting until the bottoms are golden brown to flip. This should take about 3 minutes per side, tongs or a dinner fork usually work best for flipping them over.
- Place cooked zucchini on a paper towel lined plate so the extra butter and oil can be drained off.
- Parmesan zucchini can be served hot or cold. Serve with marinara sauce or plain.
