      Hi,
      I turbo pulsed five times and my zucchini is mush. Will it still work?

      The addition of Parmesan is brilliant. It adds mouth feel flavor rather than cheesiness. Of course, if you like cheesiness you could add grated cheddar.

      But one quibble: surely squeezing the grated zucchini in a bit bag would remove more liquid? I’d add a bit more zucchini to keep the ratio of zucchini to egg.

      Could I make these the night before and reheat them for breakfast? Or will they turn to mush?
