Make zucchini cutlets to combine vegetables and meat in one tasty dish. By adding a portion of cheese to the center of each cutlet, they acquire a rich, creamy flavor. During frying, the cheese melts and makes them juicier and more tender. You don’t even need to add a side dish to these cutlets; just serve them with a light sauce based on sour cream or Greek yogurt.
