Zucchini pancakes with cheese and garlic are a simple and incredibly tasty dish of Russian cuisine, especially popular in summer when zucchinis are abundant. Their tender texture enriched with the spiciness of garlic and the rich flavor of cheese makes each serving appetizing and aromatic. The light crispy crust formed during frying complements the softness of the zucchinis, creating a pleasant contrast of textures. These pancakes can be served as a standalone dish with sour cream or fresh green salads, as well as used as a side dish for meat. They are perfect for family breakfasts, cozy home lunches, or light snacks at picnics. Due to the simplicity of preparation and availability of ingredients, this dish holds a worthy place in everyday cooking.
