Method
Step 1
Combine the zucchini, carrot, corn, broccoli and chives in a bowl. Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cheddar and stir to combine. Add the milk and egg and stir to combine.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frying pan. Spoon three 1-tbs portions of the corn mixture into the pan, allowing room for spreading. Cook for 3-4 mins each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil and remaining corn mixture.
Step 3
Serve warm or at room temperature with tomato salsa, if using. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or, wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
