Something From My Childhood

Greetings all.
I haven't entered anything in a while because I haven't really had anything new. What I've been doing is pretty much the same thing that I have been doing and I really dislike repeating the same things over and over.
I have come up with something that I did want to share though.
This is not a vegan recipe because I used eggs, I have to say that right from the beginning.
It is a vegetarian recipe and if you don't mind the eggs I highly recommend this.
This recipe takes me back to my childhood. My Dad used to make this back before I was even a teenager. It's very simple to make and if anyone can help me out with an alternative to egg I would much appreciate it.

Fried Zucchini


















My wife and I planted a garden at our house this year and one of the things that we planted was Zucchini. Now much of our garden is already starting to produce. We already have tomatoes and reddish and [of course] Zucchini. Zucchini is prolific. I don't know if you've grown this before but the plant will suddenly take off growing and almost over night goes from a tiny little plant with just a few leaves to a monster huge plant with tons of these enormous squash.
When I was a kid, in my neighborhood, it was share with the neighbors (as much as possible) Zucchini Bread, Zucchini Muffins, and Fried Zucchini.
Fried Zucchini is easy and it's what I'm going to share with you.

Peel and Wash and slice one medium Zucchini.
Scramble 3 eggs with half a cup of milk (soy milk) in a large bowl.
On one plate place one cup of flour
On another plate place one cup of Panko Bread Crumbs
Dip the Zucchini in the egg then coat with flour and then coat with Panko
Place each slice on a clean plate.
In a fry pan place a couple tablespoons of butter (I used Earth Balance Vegan Butter) turn the stove on and get the pan sizzling hot.
Place coated Zucchini in the pan and fry until golden brown (turning frequently to evenly brown.)
That's it. How many this recipe makes depends on the size of the Zucchini and how think your slices are.
Enjoy!
Again, if anyone knows how to make a Vegan "Dredge" please let me know. I have about a ton of Zucchini on it's way.
