    How to bake zucchini in the oven with egg and cheese? Very simple! To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. I used young zucchini, but you can also use regular zucchini. Use large, choice eggs. If the eggs are small, take 5-6 pieces.

  2. STEP 2

    Wash the zucchini. If using zucchini with skin, scrub it with a brush. Dry the vegetables. If the skin is thick and tough, cut it off. Cut the zucchini into thin slices no more than 5 mm thick.

    Break the eggs into a bowl. Pour in milk at room temperature, add salt and ground black pepper. Whisk everything until smooth.

Zucchini in the oven with egg and cheese is a great breakfast option. They are easy to prepare, ready for baking quickly, and turn out tasty and satisfying. I had small zucchini, so I took four pieces. I took twice as much cheese (200 grams), I like it when there is a lot of it. I baked zucchini with cheese and eggs in a cast iron dish with a diameter of 26 cm for 40 minutes. The zucchini was well baked and turned out juicy. Next time I would also add paprika as a spice. I think she would be great here. Thank you very much for the recipe for a delicious and satisfying breakfast!
