Ingredients:

- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 egg
- 4-5 tablespoons flour
- 4-5 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- ½ cup cheese (cottage cheese or feta, slightly salty)
- Salt, pepper, seasoning to taste
- Fresh dill, chopped
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Oil for frying

For the sauce:

- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tomato
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Salt to taste

Step by step:

1. Preparing the zucchini: Wash the zucchini well under running water to remove dirt. Peel it with a peeler or sharp knife, then cut it into thick slices about 1 cm thick. These slices should not be too thin, so they do not fall apart during frying.

2. Preparing the egg mixture: In a bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt, seasoning, pepper, and finely chopped dill. This will add a fresh flavor and a green note to the dish.

3. Cheese: Grate the chosen cheese and add it to the egg mixture. This will provide a creamy consistency and a savory taste to the zucchini.

4. Coating the zucchini in flour and breadcrumbs: Prepare two deep plates: one with flour and the other with breadcrumbs. Dip each slice of zucchini first in flour, ensuring it is evenly coated, then immerse it in the egg and cheese mixture, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs.

5. Frying the zucchini: Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded zucchini slices. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

6. Preparing the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, crush the garlic cloves with a pestle or garlic press. Add the diced tomato, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine the flavors. If you want a creamier sauce, you can add a tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream.

Serving:

Serve the breaded zucchini warm, alongside the garlic sauce. This combination of crispy textures and creamy sauce will surely delight your taste buds. You can add a side of green salad or tomatoes for an extra touch of freshness.

Possible variations:

For a spicy note, you can add some chopped chili pepper to the garlic sauce or use feta cheese instead of the salty cheese. If you want to bring a Mediterranean flavor, you can add finely chopped kalamata olives to the sauce.

These breaded zucchini with garlic sauce are an excellent choice for a quick dinner or an appetizer at a party. You will definitely want to make them again!
