Zucchini And Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Looking for a way to cut calories, fat and carbs, and still have a delicious healthy lunch?  I just created the perfect sandwich.  By replacing zucchini patties with bread, you eliminate carbs.  By using lite cheese, you reduce the fat.  Here's what I came up with for lunch.

                     Zucchini Patties Filled With Melted Cheese

1 small zucchini, grated
1 T. parmesean cheese
1 T. corn starch
1/2 egg beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1 oz lite cheddar or any regular cheese, grated

Combine everything but the cheese in a bowl and mix well.  Spray a pan with any nonstick product, and heat.  Add two large dollops of the zucchini mixture, and shape into a rectangle.  This will be the "bread" for your sandwich.  Cook until nice and brown, then flip, and continue cooking.  In the last minute or so, add the grated cheese to the top of one zucchini patty, then put the other patty on top.  You now have your sandwich.  Let it cook for another minute or so, to allow the cheese to melt.  Voila.  You have a grilled cheese sandwich without all the fat and carbs.  Perfect for Weight Watchers or anyone looking to maintain a healthy diet.  Enjoy.
