These include one onion, one carrot, one red pepper, a bunch of parsley, three eggs, 1.5 cups of milk, two cups of flour, and about 150 grams of cheddar cheese.

First, prepare your zucchini by either julienning or grating them, depending on what tools you have available.

Once your zucchini is prepped, sprinkle it with a little salt and let it sit for about 15 minutes.

This step is crucial for a non-soggy bake.

As the zucchini rests, you can start on the other vegetables.

Begin by sautéing the onions in some vegetable oil until they are soft and translucent, then add the carrots and red peppers and continue to cook until tender.

This mixture of sautéed vegetables not only adds a burst of color but also layers in delicious flavors and textures.

Combine them with the drained zucchini and fresh parsley.

Stirring thoroughly ensures that the flavors meld beautifully, creating a robust base for your dish.

Now, the fun part—combining all your ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth.

This mixture will bind the vegetables together.

Pour this over your sautéed vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly, then transfer the entire mixture into a greased baking tray.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (395°F).

Bake the zucchini mixture for 35 minutes until the top begins to firm up and brown slightly.

Now it’s time for the cheesy topping.

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over your partially cooked base and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

There you have it—a simple, healthy, and utterly delicious zucchini dish that’s as easy to make as it is to love.
