Preparation Time:

• • Active Preparation Time: 15 minutes

• Baking Time: 25-30 minutes
• Total Time: 40-45 minutes

Ingredients:

• • 5 zucchini (courgettes)
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

• • 120g wheat flour (approximately 1 cup)
  • 80g scamorza cheese or another cheese of your choice (approximately 2/3 cup, shredded)
  • 1 small zucchini (courgette), thinly sliced

• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Oregano, to taste

Directions:

1. 1. Prepare the Zucchini:
      • Grate the 5 zucchini and place them in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and let them drain for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. After draining, squeeze out any remaining water.
   2. Mix the Batter:
      • • In a separate bowl, beat the 3 eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

       

      • Add the drained zucchini to the eggs and mix well.
      • Gradually add 120g of wheat flour to the mixture, stirring until well combined.

1. 1. First Bake:
      • • Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
        • Spread the zucchini mixture evenly in a baking dish.
        • Bake for 15 minutes.

       

   2. Add Cheese and Toppings:
      • • Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle 80g of shredded scamorza cheese (or another cheese) evenly over the top.
        • Arrange thin slices of the small zucchini on top of the cheese.

       

      • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano to taste.
   3. Final Bake:
      • • Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

       

   4. Serve:
      • Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm as a light meal or side dish.

Serving Suggestions:

• • Serve as a main course with a side salad for a light and healthy meal.
  • Pair with grilled chicken or fish for a more substantial dinner.

• It also works well as a side dish to accompany pasta or roasted meats.
