Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, then grate them coarsely. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Stir in the minced garlic, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until well-combined.
Add the grated zucchini, chopped mint leaves, crumbled feta cheese, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs on top for a crisp, golden crust.
Drizzle the top with olive oil to enhance browning and place the dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra mint leaves if desired.
