zuchhini bites

So, I found this recipe on pinterest and had to try it because I love zucchini :)  I double the recipe and added both kinds of cheese as well as 1/2 panko crumbs and 1/2 plain bread crumbs and then just added some italian spices. oh... I also added some chopped up jalapenos for some heat and left out the onion but will probably try it in the next batch :)

I love them... Mr. Man... not so much.. he doesn't like the texture but says the taste is really good. 

Here is the recipe

1 cups zucchini, grated
1 egg
1/4 yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best)
1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style
Salt and Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside.
2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water- like when using frozen spinach; if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy and no one wants that.
3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.
4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.
