Breaded Zucchini

So far this summer our vegetable garden has given us a few great greens including lettuce, green beans, and two huge zucchinis, with many more veggies on the way.  Our tomato plants are over 6 feet tall this year!! We have a lot of bunnies living in our yard who have figured out how to dig under the fence and eat our carrot tops -- pfff, how typical eh?  A few nights ago for dinner I made breaded zucchini, a recipe that we adore around here. It is so yummy and easy. It is the perfect side dish for just about any meal -- burgers, grilled chicken, steak.  Whatever your heart desires. We use ranch dressing to dip it in.

Ingredients
1 beaten egg
1/2 c bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Montreal steak spice
1 zucchini, thickly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
ranch dressing for dipping
Method
Beat egg, set aside. Combine bread crumbs, chili powder, steak spice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Slice zucchini very thick (3/4 of an inch). Dip each slice in egg then cover in bread crumb mixture. Place in large fry pan with hot olive oil. Cook over medium heat until golden brown. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
