Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized zucchini
- 5 large eggs
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Stir in the heavy cream, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, sautéed onion and garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Allow the zucchini slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting it into squares or slices. Serve warm, or store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
