Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
- 50 ml whole milk
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20x20 cm square baking dish with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the ends off the zucchinis, then grate them coarsely. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. Set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sift in the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, stirring gently until no lumps remain.
Add the grated zucchini, half of the Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese to the batter. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Arrange the cherry tomato halves and prosciutto pieces on top of the batter, pressing them gently into the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the top. Add the fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown on top and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
