I made these for lunch today and my husband and sons really liked them. After shredding the zucchini, I squeezed the liquid out of it and then patted it dry with paper towel before mixing it into the egg mixture. They fried up really nice and held together. I also made a dipping sauce using miracle whip, relish, mustard and seafood seasoning. It was delicious. Thanks for the ideas on how to use your zucchini when you have too much!

These cakes were good, but too wet. I had to add extra bread crumbs in order to form a patty. Will make again but with an adjustment for bread crumbs.
