Zucchini Gratin
It’s Saturday morning and day 6 of working from home is officially behind me. Izzy and I have survived week 1. Life is weird, and getting weirder, and as a counter to all the free-floating anxiety out there, corona humor is circulating full gear. Laughter’s still the best remedy.
Now there’s research out there that found that eating lots of vegetables (and fruit) makes us happier. Studies have shown that the more vegetables people ate, the happier they felt - and also that these happiness benefits increased far more quickly than the health benefits. I’m sure there’s a limit to all of this, but if you keep it within the bounds of reason then maybe, just maybe, veggies are second best.
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 zucchini
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper to taste
100g parmesan
Handful of grated regular cheese (I used old Gouda)
Olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Slice the zucchini and place in an oven dish for 10 minutes, to drain excess liquid.
2. Remove the zucchini from the oven. Whisk together the egg, milk, minced garlic and salt and pepper.
3. Dry the oven dish and drizzle some olive oil in the middle. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and cover with cheese. If you like, add some more pepper at this point.
4. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
