Recipe for cooking zucchini with eggs and hard cheese in the oven
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Wash the zucchini, cut off the tails, cut the vegetables into small cubes. Peel the onion, cut into small cubes. Wash the tomatoes, cut in half, remove the stalk. Chop the vegetables into small cubes. If desired, you can peel the tomatoes beforehand.
2. Place the chopped onions in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Stirring occasionally, sauté the vegetables over medium heat until lightly golden.
3. Add the chopped zucchini to the onions.
4. Mix the ingredients and continue frying them together for 5-7 minutes. The zucchini should become soft, but still hold its shape.
5. Place the chopped tomatoes in a separate frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Stirring occasionally, simmer the vegetables over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add tomato paste, salt, sugar and ground spices.
7. Pour the chicken broth into the sauce and stir the ingredients. Bring the tomato sauce to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Add the prepared tomato sauce to the zucchini fried with onions.
9. To give the finished dish a flavorful note, add garlic cloves pressed through a press and finely chopped dill.
10. Mix the ingredients, put them in a deep heat-resistant baking dish. I used a 22 cm diameter dish.
11. Boil the chicken eggs hard, cool in cold water, peel, and grate on a coarse grater. Evenly distribute the grated eggs over the vegetable mixture, add salt to taste.
12. Grate a piece of hard cheese on a coarse grater. Evenly distribute the grated cheese over the egg layer.
13. Place the zucchini casserole with eggs and cheese in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. When the hard cheese on top melts and browns, carefully remove the casserole from the oven.
14. Serve the finished dish hot immediately after cooking with a slice of rye bread or crispy fresh baguette.
