Description
Simple baked bites featuring zucchini, tomato, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, minced garlic, and oregano.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, pressing down gently. Fill each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Notes
- Squeezing the excess water from the grated zucchini is important for firm bites. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press out the liquid.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese for mozzarella if you prefer a sharper flavor.
