Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 2 large Tomatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchini and tomatoes. Slice the zucchini and tomatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the sliced zucchini, tomatoes, and sautéed onion-garlic mixture into the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top for a golden crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the kugel is set in the center and the top is lightly browned.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped parsley or basil, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
