Ingredients:

2 cups shredded zucchini 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/8 teaspoon salt Dash cayenne pepper 3 hard-boiled large egg whites, chopped 2 tablespoons canola oil 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split 4 lettuce leaves 4 slices tomato 4 slices onion

Preparation:

In a sieve or colander, drain zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the zucchini, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, salt and cayenne. Gently stir in chopped egg whites.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter by scant 2/3 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed.

Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and onion.
