INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Chop or blend the zucchini.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, minced zucchini, cream cheese, goat cheese, 1 cup grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated. Refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours to firm up.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the breading by combining crushed pork rinds, the remaining 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl.
