Ingredients (2-3 people)
- 1 large zucchini
- 3 eggs
- 100 g of Iberian ham (or cooked ham, to taste)
- 150 g of 4-cheese shredded blend (some for the inside and some for gratinating)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- Parchment paper for baking
Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) with top and bottom heat.
- Wash and slice the zucchini into very thin strips using a mandoline.
- Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, slightly overlapping them to form a base. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Beat the eggs and pour them over the zucchini. Ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the egg is set.
- Remove from the oven and place a layer of Iberian ham followed by half of the shredded cheese.
- Roll carefully, using the parchment paper to help, just like a Swiss roll.
- Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Let it rest for a couple of minutes, cut into portions, and… enjoy!
