To prepare zucchini in carrozza, you can use the stretched curd cheese you prefer, such as scamorza, provola, or even pizza mozzarella.

How to prepare the zucchini cordon bleu
Let’s start preparing the zucchini cordon bleu. Wash the zucchinis, trim them, and cut them into slices that are not too thin and in an even number, as they will be paired later.
Now take a slice of zucchini and place a slice of cooked ham in the center.
And some stretched curd cheese.
Cover with the second slice of round zucchini and proceed this way with the remaining slices of zucchini.
Once you have prepared all the zucchini in carrozza, pass them in the flour.
In the beaten egg,
In the breadcrumbs
And again in the beaten egg
And in the breadcrumbs again. This double breading will give you crunchy zucchinis on the outside and soft inside. Make sure you do a good breading to seal the zucchinis well, so the cheese won’t come out.
Line the baking tray with parchment paper, and arrange the zucchini cordon bleu. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
And a pinch of salt.
Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. Turn the zucchinis halfway through cooking for perfect cooking.
Serve the zucchini cordon bleu hot to enjoy the melting cheese.
