These savory donuts are like little omelets, but far heavier on vegetables than eggs. We use only two eggs with almost three cups of zucchini, just enough to bind the mixture and hold it together. The donuts deliver far more robust flavour than you might expect, so accompaniments can be simple; try a green salad with light balsamic vinaigrette. The donut pan will be very full at first, but the mixture cooks down. Enjoy one donut as a side dish, or try two as a main.
