Zucchini Cakes

Zucchini Cakes

Old Bay seasoning added to these vegetable cakes makes them taste a bit like crab cakes.

These cakes are lighter and more tender when made with fresh breadcrumbs. Place a day-old baguette in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. For a quick sauce, mix some chopped fresh herbs (such as chives and dill) and lemon juice into mayonnaise.
