Recipe for fluffy zucchini and cheese pancakes in the oven
This option is for lovers of dietary dishes with minimal fat content. When fried normally, this dish is quite fatty. Not everyone likes this, so baking in the oven will be the best solution.
I propose an unusual but simple method of cooking with Feta cheese. You don't have to stand at the stove and flip pancakes in a frying pan. And they will turn out fluffy, tasty and non-greasy.
Ingredients:
- Young zucchini - 600-700 gr.
- Flour - 2-3 tbsp. spoons
- Onion - 1 head
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Egg - 1 pc.
- Feta cheese - 250 gr.
- Dill
- Salt
For the sauce:
- Yogurt or sour cream - 2-3 tbsp. spoons
- Garlic - 1 clove
- Salt
Preparation:
- The cooking principle is not particularly different from those indicated above. First, chop the vegetables. For this we need a grater. Just finely chop the onion and dill sprigs with a knife.
- Since we will be baking the food, it is important that the mini-pancakes do not spread. Therefore, place the vegetable straws in a colander and get rid of the juice.
- To do this, you can simply squeeze it out with a spoon or your hands.
- Combine all ingredients in one bowl. Add grated cheese, egg, salt and flour to the vegetables. And mix everything thoroughly. At this time, it’s time to turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment and place the balls on it, slightly flattening them with a spoon. You can lightly grease the paper with vegetable oil. I don’t do this, and my pancakes bake normally and don’t burn. Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- Squeeze garlic cloves into yogurt or sour cream through a press, add salt to taste. If desired, you can add lemon juice. Stir and the sauce is ready.
The baked goods turned out tender and flavorful. And eating it, dipping it in sauce, is just pure pleasure.
Zucchini pancakes with grated cheese and garlic
Do you know at least one housewife who doesn't make zucchini pancakes? Of course, there is a basic recipe that we regularly use, but experiments also have a right to life. Zucchini pancakes with cheese and garlic, for which we offer a step-by-step recipe, are a hearty and tasty dish. Many people try adding minced meat or sauces. In today's recipe, I propose to slightly brighten the taste with the help of cheese and garlic; these two ingredients make absolutely any dish tastier. By the way, there is one thing about zucchini pancakes that I really, really love. They are delicious either hot or cold, eat them straight from the pan, or put them on a plate to serve on the dinner table, it will still be appetizing.
There are no special requirements for choosing zucchini for this recipe; both young and old will do. Only if you take an old one, it is better to clean it of rough skin. The recipe is quite simple, there shouldn’t be any difficulties, I suggest you get started.

- hard cheese - 200 g;
- garlic - 3-4 cloves;
- salt - 1 tsp;
- greens - to taste;
- sunflower oil - for frying.
Making zucchini pancakes with cheese
- The first step will be preparing the zucchini. They need to be washed, slightly dried and the edges removed, then grated on a coarse grater. Now they need to be salted and wait about 10 minutes until the zucchini releases juice, which needs to be squeezed out.
- After removing excess liquid, add eggs and mix.
- Crush the garlic cloves into the mixture and add chopped herbs.
- Then grate the cheese. I recommend not skimping on cheese; at least it will affect the taste of the finished dish. Buy cheese with 50% fat content.
- Mix the prepared mass with flour. If you suddenly haven’t squeezed the juice out of the zucchini well enough, you may need more than what I indicated in the composition above.
- When everything is ready, put the mixture on a preheated frying pan; I usually spoon it on and smooth it out a little.
- When the bottom is browned, carefully turn it over to the other side.
- Place the finished pancakes on napkins to remove excess oil.
- Then serve with sour cream. Bon appetit.
Zucchini pancakes with cheese and garlic with semolina
Zucchini dough can be prepared without any flour at all, but with semolina. When its grains swell from the moisture of the egg, zucchini juice and garlic, a complete dough for pancakes is formed.
Ingredients:
- 180 g zucchini;
- 50-60 g of any hard cheese;
- garlic cloves;
- 2 yolks from chicken eggs;
- four st. l. dry semolina;
- 2-3 pinches of baking powder;
- salt;
- 40 g ghee.
How to cook
- Grate the hard cheese on a fine-mesh grater. Do the same with washed zucchini and peeled garlic.
- In a large bowl, mix semolina, yolks, cheese, zucchini and garlic. Add salt. If desired, you can pepper or sprinkle with other suitable spices - cardamom, coriander, ground pepper or something else. Stir the mixture and leave it in the refrigerator or on the kitchen counter for half an hour.
- Then melt the butter in a wide frying pan and spoon out the dough with a spoon (you can use a large ice cream spoon). Place three to five pancakes in the pan at one time. Bake them until golden brown on both sides.
- If you find the pancakes to be greasy, remove them from the pan onto layers of paper towel for a couple of minutes. Then transfer the zucchini pancakes to a plate and serve with sour cream or sour cream sauces.
- If you use mature zucchini for this recipe, you will have to peel and remove the seeds. In this case, add not the yolks to the dough, but a whole large chicken egg. This is necessary to provide moisture for the semolina to swell.
Zucchini fritters with cheese, potatoes and garlic
Zucchini pancakes with potatoes are very filling and high in calories. Serve them as a main course for lunch or dinner. Boiled sausage has been added to the recipe; if desired, it can be replaced with smoked or dry-cured sausage. For this dish, choose sauces that are sour, salty or spicy rather than sweet.
Ingredients:
- 50-60 g potatoes;
- 240 g zucchini;
- three cloves of garlic;
- 30-40 g soft cheese;
- one raw chicken egg;
- 40 g boiled sausage;
- two tbsp. l. wheat flour;
- salt;
- 50-75 ml vegetable oil.
Step by step recipe
- Prepare ingredients for the dish. Wash and peel the potatoes and place them in cold water for now. Peel the garlic and zucchini (if they are ripe).
- Divide the egg into yolk and white. Beat the egg whites and salt into a thick foam with a blender or mixer.
- Using a grater (or in a food processor), chop the zucchini, garlic, boiled sausage, soft cheese, and lastly the potatoes. Mix the mixture with the yolk and flour. Then place the whipped whites on the dough and gently mix with a spatula from bottom to top. This is necessary so that the squirrels do not settle. Due to this, the dough loosens, so there are no additional leavening agents in the list of ingredients.
- Place spoonfuls of dough onto a well-heated frying pan with oil and form into oval pancakes. Bake over medium heat on both sides. If the dough begins to burn, you need to reduce the heat. But if, on the contrary, it sticks to the surface of the pan, then the fire is too low. Place the finished pancakes on a serving plate.
- Keep in mind that adding garlic to the dough gives the pancakes a spicy kick. For lovers of such food, we suggest using a little more cloves than indicated in the recipe or adding a few extra grams of hot chili pepper.
How to cook zucchini pancakes quickly and tasty in a frying pan
The peculiarity of this recipe is that here we use corn flour, which adds a unique taste and bright, cheerful color to our dish.
We will need:
- Zucchini - half a medium zucchini (300-400 grams),
- Wheat flour - 1-2 tablespoons,
- Corn flour - 2 tablespoons,
- Salt, herbs - to taste,
- Baking soda – ¼ teaspoon,
- Citric acid, garlic - to taste,
- Vegetable oil - for frying
Grind the zucchini right in the bowl using a medium grater, this will make the pancakes more tender. Add salt and set aside for 15-20 minutes. We are waiting for it to release the juice.
This recipe does not use an egg, so do not drain the juice. It will allow the zucchini and flour to better combine and create a homogeneous semi-viscous mass.
Add chopped herbs (parsley or dill), chopped garlic, soda and citric acid.
There should be two times less acid than soda.
Then add corn and wheat flour, mix and make sure it is not too thick, but not too runny. You should get a semi-viscous homogeneous mass.
When we cook zucchini only from wheat flour, they turn out very tender, they even seem to be raw. Flour with grains (corn) eliminates this illusion.
Spoon the dough into a heated frying pan and form flat pancakes. Fry over medium heat on both sides for 3-5 minutes until the flatbreads are well cooked.
The tender vegetable dish is ready. If desired, you can sprinkle with herbs and serve.

Zucchini pancakes - the most delicious frying pan recipe
Pancakes prepared according to this recipe turn out very tender and tasty.
To prepare we will need:
- Young zucchini - 300 grams,
- Egg - 1 piece,
- Kefir – 1 glass,
- Flour – 1 glass,
- Baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon,
- Salt - to taste

Step 1
Young zucchini has a delicate structure, even their skin is soft. If it is not damaged, then we do not cut it. Rinse the zucchini well in water and start cooking.
Grind the clean vegetable on a grater. If it is very juicy, then squeeze out the juice. Place the semi-finished product in a deep dish.
Add salt immediately before frying so that there is less moisture in the dough.
Step 2
Add egg, soda and kefir to this dish. Mix everything and gradually add sifted flour to achieve the desired thickness of the dough and salt.
Step 3
Mix flour with vegetable mixture until smooth. The easiest way to do this is with a mixer. If it is not available, use an ordinary spoon. The result will be the same, it will just take more time. Our zucchini dough is ready for baking. It has a homogeneous structure and is easy to take with a tablespoon.
Step 4
We bake zucchini pancakes in a frying pan, after greasing it with vegetable oil.
A little advice. Heat the pan well, then the pancakes will not burn and will bake better.
Place the dough in the pan with a tablespoon, reduce the heat to halfway and fry our flatbreads.
Fry them over medium heat until well cooked. On high heat they will burn and not bake, but on low heat they will be very oily.
We are closely monitoring the test. We are waiting for bubbles to appear on it - this is a signal that it is time to turn the cakes over. Turn them over and fry for just a minute on the other side.
Place the finished ones on a dish.
Zucchini does not have a distinct taste, so when serving we prepare the following sauce: mix sour cream, chopped any herbs and chopped garlic in arbitrary proportions. This is the perfect combination for our zucchini dish.
Zucchini and potato pancakes
Lovers of hearty food note that pancakes made from zucchini alone practically do not give a feeling of fullness, while pancakes made from zucchini and potatoes allow you to fill up even with a relatively small portion. Potatoes add extra flavor and satiety to the dish.

- egg - 1 pc.;
- garlic - 2 cloves;

- After this, you can start mixing the remaining ingredients. Add egg, grated garlic, and salt to the bowl. If desired, you can add ground black pepper, chopped dill, parsley, cilantro and other herbs.
