Ruthie's Summer Camp Zucchini
- 3 medium zucchini, washed
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
- 2 large eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- 6 tablespoons or more extra-virgin olive oil
- Trim off the end of the zucchini and discard.
- Cut each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, thyme, and oregano in a large bowl and mix well.
- Mix the flour with the salt and pepper on a large plate or in a pie plate.
- Place the beaten egg in a separate plate or bowl.
- Dredge the zucchini slices in the flour, making sure they are well coated, and shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured slices into the egg, let the excess drip off, and dip into the crumb mixture to coat.
- Transfer to a large baking sheet and keep uncovered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- (The slices can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead.)
- Just before serving, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the zucchini to the skillet a few slices at a time.
- (Do not crowd the skillet, or the slices will not brown properly.)
- Cook, turning often, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Add olive oil, as needed, between batches.
- Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Keep the zucchini in a warm oven while you cook the rest.
- Serve hot.
