Zucchini and tomato casserole with cheese in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 55 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a casserole of zucchini and tomatoes with cheese in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take hard or melted cheese. It is better to take an unripe tomato so that it is not too soft and watery. Turn on the oven at 180 degrees in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the zucchini and dry. If the zucchini skin is rough, peel it. The skin of young fruits is tender and does not need to be cut off. Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater. Add a little salt to them and leave for 5 minutes. During this time, the zucchini will give juice.

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze out excess juice from the zucchini mass so that it is not too liquid. Add the eggs to the zucchini and mix well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grind the cheese on a medium grater. You can use any grater (large or small). In this case, it doesn't matter much, since the cheese will melt during baking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add half the grated cheese to the zucchini mass, add salt and stir. When adding salt, be sure to take into account the degree of saltiness of the cheese so that the finished dish does not turn out to be too salty.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift flour into the resulting mass, mix well.

7. STEP 7

   

   You should get a viscous, thick mass. Adjust the amount of flour as needed to achieve the desired consistency of the zucchini dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grease a baking dish with vegetable or butter, lay out the zucchini mixture, and smooth it out.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the tomato and dry it. Cut it into round slices. To make this easier, use a sharp knife.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the tomato slices on top of the zucchini layer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180C for 30 minutes. Cook the casserole until the cheese crust is golden brown. Cooking times may vary slightly as it depends on the operating characteristics of each oven. Read more about ovens at the end of this recipe.

13. STEP 13

    

    Let the finished casserole cool slightly, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

I wanted to make some easy zucchini dish. On the site I found a recipe for a casserole of zucchini and tomatoes with cheese in the oven. In my opinion, this is just a great option when you want vegetables without meat! If I use grated zucchini, I always salt them first, and after 10-15 minutes I drain the juice. I also squeeze the zucchini themselves well, then there will be no excess liquid in the casserole. I made the zucchini dough thick, distributed it into the mold, and placed thin slices of tomato and cheese on top. Bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees. Great, delicious casserole! The pieces hold their shape well, especially after cooling. The consistency is soft and pleasant! A great option for dinner with fresh vegetables. Thanks for the recipe!
