PREP: 20 MIN. COOK: 5 MIN./BATCH
2 cups	shredded zucchini
1 medium	onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup	dry bread crumbs
2	eggs, lightly beaten
1/8 tsp.	salt
Dash	cayenne pepper
3 hard-cooked egg whites, chopped
2 Tbsp.	canola oil
4	whole wheat hamburger buns, split
4	lettuce leaves
4 slices	tomato
4 slices	onion

1. In a sieve or colander, drain zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the zucchini, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, salt and cayenne. Gently stir in the cooked egg whites.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter by scant 2/3 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed.
3. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and onion.
