Ingredients:
- Zucchini – 600 grams of fresh zucchini, providing a burst of green goodness.
- Eggs – 4 large eggs, the heart of our dish, lending richness and protein.
- Milk – 50 milliliters of milk, for a creamy texture.
- Onion – 1 onion, finely chopped, infusing a subtle sweetness.
- Garlic – 2 cloves of garlic, minced, adding aromatic depth.
- Cheese – 100 grams of cheese, grated to perfection, bringing a delightful cheesy indulgence.
- Fresh Dill – A handful of fresh dill, finely chopped, for a burst of herbal freshness.
- Sunflower Oil – 2-3 tablespoons of sunflower oil for a golden sear.
- Salt – A pinch of salt, enhancing the flavors.
Cooking Method:
- Preparing the Zucchini: Begin by cleaning the zucchini and slicing them into rings, followed by halving the rings. This ensures delightful zucchini bites in every mouthful. Finely chop the onion and garlic, setting the stage for a flavorful sauté.
- Sautéing the Aromatics: In a generous glug of sunflower oil (about 2-3 tablespoons), gently sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic for approximately 1 minute. This aromatic duo will infuse your dish with a tantalizing fragrance. Next, introduce the zucchini to the pan, allowing them to gently stew for 6-7 minutes until they reach a delectable, tender state.
- Creating the Cheesy Egg Mixture: In a separate container, whisk together 4 eggs, adding a pinch of salt (about 0.5 teaspoons) for seasoning. Pour in 50 milliliters of milk and continue to whisk until the mixture achieves a harmonious consistency. Add the grated cheese and the finely chopped dill, stirring to ensure even distribution. This mixture is the crowning glory of our dish.
- Baking to Perfection: Take a baking dish and generously grease it with butter, ensuring a delectably crisp edge to your zucchini delight. Pour the egg, cheese, and dill mixture over the sautéed zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then, place the baking dish in a preheated oven set at 180 degrees Celsius (approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and let it bake for a tantalizing 30 minutes.
