For 4 serving

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis
200 g hard cheese (Edam, Gouda, mozzarella)
2 eggs
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
salt
freshly ground black pepper
oil for frying (canola or sunflower)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the zucchini Wash the zucchinis, peel them and cut into 8–10 thicker slices (about 1 cm). Salt them on both sides and let stand for 60 min to release excess juice.
Preparing the filling Cut the cheese into slices the same width as the zucchini. After the time has passed, remove the released water from the zucchini slices and season with pepper.
Filling and coating Place one slice of cheese on each zucchini slice and cover with another zucchini slice to create a "sandwich". Prepare three shallow plates: put flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Coat each sandwich sequentially in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Baking Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Arrange the sandwiches in a baking dish greased or lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden. You can turn them halfway through to make them crispy on all sides.
Serving Serve immediately as individual appetizer "rolls" or as a side to a light salad or grilled meat.
