Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces Zucchini (Sliced into thin slices)
- 1 piece Chopped Onion
- 2 cloves Chopped Garlic
- 1000 g Ground Beef (Sautéed)
- 350 g Grated Cheddar (For topping)
- 8 pieces Eggs (Beaten)
- 1 tbsp Chopped Rosemary
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- to taste Nutmeg
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into thin slices (about 0.5 cm thick) and sprinkle salt over them. Let the zucchini slices rest for about 10 minutes to soften and draw out moisture.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the zucchini slices evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Beat the eggs with a mixer until frothy and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the zucchini on the baking sheet, ensuring they are well covered.
- Bake the zucchini-egg mixture for about 15 minutes, until the eggs are set and lightly golden. It is done when the surface is no longer liquid.
- Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pan and sauté the ground beef over medium heat until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the beef and cook together for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
- Season the mixture with rosemary, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and ketchup. Let the beef simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once the zucchini-egg base has cooled slightly, sprinkle the grated cheddar evenly over it and top with the beef mixture.
- Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the zucchini-beef roll. Ensure it is rolled tightly but not too tight to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes at 180 °C (356 °F) until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the roll to cool slightly after baking before slicing and serving.
