Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis (grated and squeezed dry)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Parmesan)

1 small onion (finely chopped)

1/2 lb (225g) ground beef (cooked and drained)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

Brown ground beef in a skillet with salt and pepper; set aside to cool.

Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in flour and baking powder until smooth.

Fold in zucchini, onion, cheese, ground beef, and herbs. Season to taste.

Drizzle in olive oil and mix until fully combined.

Pour into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra color and flavor, add corn, carrots, or chili flakes.

Mozzarella, feta, or cheese blends can be used instead of cheddar.

To keep the slice firm, remove as much liquid as possible from the zucchini.

This recipe is easy to make gluten-free with a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute.

Can be enjoyed warm or cold; great for lunchboxes or meal prep.
