Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Meat base Finely chop the onion and sauté it in oil for 2–3 minutes. Add the minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and fry until browned for 6–8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook briefly.
  • Zucchini and cream-and-egg mixture Coarsely grate the zucchinis and squeeze out the excess liquid well. Whisk the eggs with the cream, season with salt and pepper. Mix the zucchini with this mixture.
  • Assembling in the baking dish Grease a baking dish approx. 30 × 20 cm with butter. Spread the meat, then the zucchini mixture, and top with tomatoes sliced into rounds. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 190 °C for 35–40 minutes, until the surface is golden and the center firms up. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Servings: 4–6

Total preparation time: 55 minutes (15 minutes prep + 35–40 minutes baking)

Tips and variations

  • Is the zucchini releasing a lot of liquid? Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs or Parmesan.

  • Herbs work well: oregano, thyme or basil will support the „Mediterranean“ profile.

  • Lighter version: replace part of the cheese with light mozzarella or use 12 % cream.

  • As a side, green salad, roasted potatoes or fresh bread work great.

Conclusion

The one-dish zucchini „bašavel“ is an ideal summer meal – quick, juicy and low on dishes. The basic method gives you room for variations depending on what you have at home. You can cook it for family or guests without standing at the stove for long.
