Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
These pancakes are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy. They are great on their own as a snack or light meal, or as a side dish to grilled fish or chicken.
Wine Advice:
For these delicious zucchini pancakes, you need a wine that’s as fresh and easy-going as they are. A light-bodied white wine with good acidity, such as a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Pinot Grigio, would be a fantastic choice. Their citrus notes and vibrant flavor will complement the fresh zucchini and savory cheese beautifully, without stealing the show. It’s a pairing that proves the simple things in life are often the best!
