Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Zucchini: Sprinkle 10 g of salt over the thinly sliced zucchini and let them rest for 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Cook the Potatoes: Bring 400 ml of water to a boil in a pot. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 20 ml of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft and golden. Set aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 10 g of salt, black pepper, and flour until smooth.
Assemble the Casserole:
- Grease a 22 x 22 cm baking tray with oil.
- Sprinkle 60 g of bread crumbs evenly across the base.
- Layer half of the zucchini slices, followed by the cooked potatoes.
- Spread the sautéed mushrooms and onions evenly on top.
- Pour half of the egg mixture over the layers.
- Add the remaining zucchini slices and top with the rest of the egg mixture.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining 40 g of bread crumbs over the top.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish or a side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese to the topping.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, increase the amount of bread crumbs on top.
- Want a creamier texture? Mix in a bit of sour cream or ricotta cheese into the egg mixture.
- For a spicier kick, sprinkle chili flakes or smoked paprika on top before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes or microwave for a quick warm-up.
- Freezing option: Freeze before baking for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.
