Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 4 pieces Large Eggs
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible to avoid a soggy mixture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, and garlic.

Step 4

Add the baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Cut the zucchini mixture into small squares and serve either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
