Summer Squash Patties

This is a recipe I've had for years and finally tried. They were so good and easy!  You can use any kind of summer squash for this recipe. The bread/flour part is flexible too. I used wheat flour and 1 tsp of seasoned salt. You could totally do other spices too if something else sounds good, like Cajun for a spicier version!

Summer Squash Patties
6 c. coarsely grated unpeeled summer squash
1-2 eggs (depending on size)
1/4 c. + 2 T. wheat flour or bread crumbs OR 1/2 tube of crushed saltine crackers
seasoned salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
shredded cheese, optional

Lightly beat eggs. Mix the flour/crumbs and spices together and then add to the eggs along with the squash. Mix it all together.

Heat a griddle over medium to medium-high heat. If it's non-stick you can just brush it with olive oil. If it's not, you'll probably need to add more oil. Scoop out about 1/4 c. (I did a little less) squash onto the griddle and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten it.  Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until nicely browned. Flip and cook the second side. Top with a little cheese, if desired.

Keep in a warm oven or serve immediately.

Makes 10-12 patties, depending on how big you make them.
