Ingredients
1 cup grated zucchini forms the fresh base and adds moisture control for crispiness
1 cup hard but melty cheese, such as Gruyere, Cheddar, Parmesan, Swiss, or a mix of these provides the savory melt and crunch
4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced enhances the vegetable volume and texture
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese contributes a creamy, melty layer
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese boosts the sharp taste and helps with browning
1/2 cup breadcrumbs adds crunch (opt for gluten-free if needed)
1 large egg acts as a binder to hold everything together
2 cloves garlic, minced brings in a fragrant flavor boost
Salt and pepper to taste seasons and balances the overall taste
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to avoid any sticking issues.
2-Next, wash and thinly slice 4 medium zucchinis, then sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to release extra moisture; pat dry thoroughly.
3-In a bowl, combine 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4-Gently fold in the sliced and grated zucchini until everything is evenly coated.
5-Spread the mixture into the baking dish for an even layer, ensuring it’s not too thick for proper crisping.
6-Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, keeping an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
7-Finally, let it cool for 5 minutes before serving, which helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to handle.
