Fried Zucchini Rolls with Cottage Cheese and Herbs

You can swap the cottage cheese for mascarpone or another soft cheese. I had a couple of young zucchini languishing in the fridge and decided to make something new with them. My mother-in-law, who's a big fan of cottage cheese, was coming over, so the recipe more or less wrote itself around what we both like. As it turned out, the cottage cheese pairs beautifully with the fried zucchini, and this appetizer vanished from the table in no time.
