Notes

  • Zucchini Tip: Removing excess moisture is crucial for the perfect texture. Don't skip this step.
  • Cheese Variations: Try mozzarella for a gooier texture or feta for a tangy twist.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the batter in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
