Instructions
Prepare the zucchini:
Grate the zucchini and place in a colander, sprinkling with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Squeeze the zucchini well with a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess liquid.
Make the batter:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the squeezed zucchini, flour, Greek yogurt, dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the pan and drain on paper towels if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with a little fresh dill!
