  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Batter:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Sauté the Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion in olive oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Zucchini: Combine the grated zucchini with salt in a bowl. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture with a kitchen towel.

  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture. Gently fold in the zucchini.
  7. Bake: Pour the mixture into the dish, sprinkle Parmesan on top, and bake for 35-40 minutes until set and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let it cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
