Zucchini Crust Grilled Cheese

Would you believe me if I say that this Zucchini Crust Grilled Cheese is as awesome as my Cauli Crust Grilled Cheese?

No? Then try it and see for yourself.

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

Zucchini crust “bread” slices:

• 4 cups shredded zucchini
• 1 egg
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Pinch of ground black pepper

Grilled cheese:

• 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
• ⅓ cup / 3 oz / 85 gr sharp cheddar cheese, grated/shredded, at room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS

Zucchini crust “bread” slices:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally grease it (alternatively use a silicone baking mat). Set aside.
3. Place shredded zucchini in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 6 minutes. Transfer to a dishcloth (or tea towel) and twist it to squeeze as much moisture as you can. This is very important. The zucchini need to be dry, otherwise you’ll end up with mushy dough, impossible to use as slices of bread.
4. In a bowl mix zucchini, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Spread zucchini mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape into 4 squares.
6. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before peeling them off the parchment paper (be careful not to break them!)
