Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Zucchini
  • 8 Eggs
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Nutmeg
  • 350 g Grated Cheddar
  • 1 kg Ground Beef
  • 1 Chopped Onion
  • 2 Chopped Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Rosemary
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini into thin slices (about 0.5 cm thick) and sprinkle salt over them. Let the zucchini slices rest for about 10 minutes to soften and draw out moisture.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Spread the zucchini slices evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  4. In a large bowl, add the eggs and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Beat the eggs with a mixer until frothy and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the zucchini on the baking sheet, ensuring they are well covered.
  6. Bake the zucchini-egg mixture for about 15 minutes, until the eggs are set and lightly golden. It is done when the surface is no longer liquid.
  7. Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pan and sauté the ground beef over medium heat until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  8. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the beef and cook together for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  9. Season the mixture with rosemary, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and ketchup. Let the beef simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  10. Once the zucchini-egg base has cooled slightly, sprinkle the grated cheddar evenly over it and top with the beef mixture.
  11. Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the zucchini-beef roll. Ensure it is rolled tightly but not too tight to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  12. Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes at 180 °C (356 °F) until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Allow the roll to cool slightly after baking before slicing and serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: Make sure to salt the zucchini before slicing to draw out moisture and prevent the roll from becoming too watery. Experiment with the filling by adding bell peppers, spinach, or other vegetables for more flavor and nutrients.
