Veggie Pancakes with Fried Eggs.
The light coming through our back windows this morning is brighter than usual. The angle in which it reaches the kitchen creates a spot light. On to the stage steps these gorgeous veggie pancakes.

I did not plan for this. When I opened the refrigerator door I was reaching for coffee cream. Instead out came zucchini, summer squash, asparagus, carrots and scallions.

Apparently it was their time to shine. Shredded veggies tossed in a simple batter made from flour, egg, buttermilk, panko crumbs and seasoning.

Pan sautéed until golden brown on each side. Simply served topped with fried eggs.

A star is born.
Now. On to that cup of coffee.
