Garden Zucchini Parmesan Biscuits

Savory biscuits packed with shredded zucchini, chopped tomatoes, scallions, basil and Parmesan cheese make a wonderful accompaniment to any summer meal. Smeared with butter or dipped in olive oil, these savory biscuits are sure to become one of your favorite ways to use all of that glorious zucchini growing in your garden.

This past weekend at the farmers market so many different venders were selling beautiful dark green zucchinis of various sizes. So needless to say, I have an outrageous amount of zucchini right now! 😉

Zucchini is one of those summer vegetables that I always pick up when I go to the farmers market and grocery stores. I love to throw them on the grill, add them to stir-fries, bread, muffins, cakes, cookies, soup and salads. There are just so many incredible recipes!
