Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the zucchini and use a kitchen towel or paper towel to squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Continue to sauté until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes more.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well combined.
- Gradually add the flour to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and grated zucchini. Mix well to combine.
- Add the sautéed onion, mushrooms, and garlic mixture to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the zucchini and mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the top of the mixture with 2 tbsp of bread crumbs for a crunchy finish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Cut into squares or portions and serve warm.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking. It's best to have it ready at 350°F (175°C).
- When chopping the vegetables, try to keep them uniform in size to ensure they cook evenly.
- Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before mixing it with other ingredients to avoid a soggy bake.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, for varied flavors.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or paprika can enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
