# Ingredients:

01 - 2 medium zucchinis, grated

06 - Spoon a heaping tablespoon of cooked ground beef and cheddar cheese onto the center of the pancake.
07 - Add a little more batter on top to cover the filling and gently press to seal.
08 - Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
09 - Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
10 - Serve hot, topped with green onions if desired.
