4 eggs, lightly beaten
2-4 cloves garlic
2 cups whole grain bread crumbs
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Mix summer squash with salt and let stand for a half an hour.
2. Rinse well with water and squeeze dry in a towel.
3. Mix with eggs, garlic, bread crumbs, cheese and cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Form into cakes and sauté a few minutes or until golden brown on each side in butter and olive oil.
5. For variety substitute a cup of grated new potatoes for a cup of squash. Or try using whole grain flour instead of bread crumbs.
