- In another bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, flour, Parmesan cheese and a dash of salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Taking one zucchini round at a time, dip it into the egg mixture and then into the floured mixture, making sure that the floured mixture adheres to the zucchini.
- Place the zucchini in the hot oil, making sure to not overcrowd the pan.
- You may need to do this in two batches.

- Remove the burgers from heat and set aside.
- Assemble your burgers by layering a small amount of olive tapenade on each bottom of the burger rolls.
