Zucchini Patties

Ingredients:

3 cups zucchini, grated
1 medium onion, chopped small dice
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 Tbs. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. barbecue spice ( Paul Prudhomme's or Emerils, i use my own blend )
1/2 tsp. garlic garnie
1/2 tsp. thyme, dried
1 tsp. oregano, dried
1 tsp. basil, dried
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
1 large egg, beaten
olive oil
barbecue spice
Gruyere cheese

Start out grating the zucchini and chopping the onion and add it to a mixing bowl.Now add the breadcrumbs, flour, garlic garnie, thyme, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and the egg. Using your hands mix all of the ingredients together, so that the spices are even through out. Next shape into patties and lay on a tray sprayed with Pam and put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set up. After that put your griddle on the stove and heat to a medium low setting and spray the griddle with Pam. Take your patties and sprinkle a little barbecue spice on top of the patties and lay on the griddle spiced side down, than sprinkle the top side with a little barbecue spice also. Fry the patties about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden and than flip and top with a slice of Gruyere cheese and fry the bottom side. When done either put in a warming oven or plate and serve.
