I have made 2 different zucchini cake recipies in the past few days,,,this was my favorite. The feta gives it a nice tang. I thought that they were a bit mushy in the middle so next time will sub 1/2 c bread crumbs for flower. Also made each the size of a small burger. Try these on an english muffin w/slice of tomato, leaf lettuce and a nice tiziki sauce...real yummy anytime of day!
