Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece Zucchini (approximately 250g)
  • to taste Salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons Oatmeal (gluten-free if needed)
  • 100 grams Grated Cheese (your choice, such as cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 pieces Eggs
  • to taste Pepper
  • for garnish Chives, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the zucchini into a bowl using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a strainer, sprinkle some salt over it, and let it sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
  3. Use your hands to squeeze the grated zucchini thoroughly to remove any remaining juice.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, oatmeal, grated cheese, eggs, and pepper. Add the chopped chives and mix everything well.
  5. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (360 degrees F).
Baking
  1. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  3. Uncover and return to the oven for another 10 minutes to achieve a crispy top.
Serving
  1. Once out of the oven and nicely browned, let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or wedges and serve.
  2. This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables.
  3. Enjoy it on its own as a delicious snack or lunch option, drizzled with olive oil or topped with extra chives.

Notes

Customize with different cheeses like feta or spicy pepper jack, or add cooked chicken for protein. Incorporate veggies like bell peppers or spinach for more color and flavor.
