Notes

I used finely grated zucchini because that’s the kind of grater I have. You can use those coarser ones with no problem.
You can use other types of cheese. I’ve tried mozzarella and cheddar before.
You can lessen the amount of breadcrumbs or flour. I tried it with 4 tbsps of flour and while it is watery, you can scoop out the mixture for frying instead of shaping it into patties by hand.
