A savory, cheesy, and hearty dish made with ground beef and zucchini, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened. Season with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs and heavy cream. Stir in half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  4. Layer zucchini slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread half the beef mixture on top, then half the egg mixture. Repeat layers.
  5. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella, cheddar, and all of the parmesan on top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and set. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline to get perfectly thin zucchini slices.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid a watery bake.
  • Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
