This is one that's "based on" a zucchini bake we found somewhere on the interwebs. I think we made enough changes to it to make it our own. We had teeny tiny zucchini to work with and this was the best thing we could do with it.
Instruments
- Mixing bowl and mixing method that's best for you
- Big pot
- Collander or other draining method of choice
- Veg preparation tools
- Wide-area shallow casserole dish
- Oven
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 1/3 cup onion
- 2 cups of thin-sliced veggies of choice [our choice was zucchini and carrot
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/3 cup parmesan dust [measure with your heart]
- ~2 cups shredded three cheese mix [again, measure with your heart]
- Herbs and spices to taste
- Water for boiling
- Butter or fave non-stick lining grease
Instructions
- Thinly slice and otherwise prepare your veg
- Lightly boil them in the big pot [aim for al dente] And yes, I added the onion in to the pot.
- Grease your casserole dish
- Preheat the oven to 180 C or 360 F
- Drain veg when ready
- Beat eggs with the cream and add herbs and spices
- Place veg into the casserole dish and spread evenly
- pour over with egg mix
- Scatter over with, in order, mozzarella, parmesan, and three-cheese mix
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown
The original recipe called for the onion and half the mozzarella to be mixed into the egg for reasons I cannot fathom as there is no way to get either evenly over the surface and it just struck me as extra fiddling about.
As you can see by the splash pic, my family won't wait for me to fetch my phone before predating on the end product. There's roughly twelve servings in there if you can prevent the family from deciding what a "serving" is for themselves.
For the record - most of my prepped meal packings contained two servings of this stuff because I'm a greedy, greedy soul. Just like my family :D
