Description
A simple, cheesy, and comforting one-pan baked dish featuring thinly sliced zucchini, eggs, cheese, and fresh herbs. Perfect as a vegetarian main or a savory side, especially during zucchini season.
Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh zucchini, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, or dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or melted butter.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, flour, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Fold in the sliced zucchini until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add chopped onions or bell peppers for extra flavor.
- Use cheddar or gouda instead of mozzarella for a richer taste.
- Reduce or omit flour and add an extra egg for a low-carb version.
- Best reheated in the oven to retain a crispy top.
- Not ideal for freezing due to zucchini’s high water content.
