Description
Zucchini Feta Cottage Cheese Bake is a delightful blend of fresh ingredients that brings a burst of flavor to your table at any time of the day.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese (plus more for topping)
- 3 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth serving.
- Grate three medium zucchinis and meticulously squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel. This step is vital to prevent the bake from becoming watery and ensures a firm texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together four large eggs with one cup of cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth. The combination of creamy cottage cheese with eggs forms the base of your bake.
- Gently fold the grated zucchini, minced garlic, chopped green onions, chopped dill, olive oil, and crumbled feta cheese into the egg mixture. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste, blending until well integrated.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle more feta cheese on top for additional flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the top is set and golden brown.
- After baking, allow the dish to cool for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the bake set further. Slice and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
Ensure that the zucchini is thoroughly squeezed to remove excess water. Failing to do so might result in a runny bake.
