Ingredients
- 1.1 lbs zucchini
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsps whole wheat flour (or all-purpose or rice flour)
- pepper
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 1 tsp mixed seeds
- extra virgin olive oil
- cherry tomatoes
- 2.8 oz smoked scamorza cheese
- 1 zucchini
- fine salt
Steps
– After washing, cleaning, and grating the zucchinis, put them in a bowl with salt to drain the liquid for about an hour. Squeeze the zucchinis or wring them in a cloth to extract the liquid.
– Season the zucchinis with the egg, a generous sprinkle of pepper, and flour. Mix well and then pour this ‘dough’ onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
– Shape it round by using a flat plate or a cake ring, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with mixed seeds. While it bakes at 356°F for about 10/12 minutes, grill a small zucchini and set aside.
– Take the zucchini base out of the oven, top with scamorza cheese, grilled zucchinis, and halved tomatoes, season with a bit of salt, and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
– Serve hot or warm.
