Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • food processor
  • muslin cloth

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 3 pieces zucchini roughly 3 grated cups after squeezing

Dairy

  • 200 grams grated mozzarella or cheddar or gouda or gruyere
  • 30 grams grated parmesan

Baking Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200C / 180 fan / 400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Dimensions 30 x 23 x 2 cm.
  • Grate the zucchini either in a food processor or by hand. Place into a muslin cloth or fine tea towel and squeeze out the water. Discard the water.
  • Add the compressed zucchini to a mixing bowl along with the eggs, almond flour, parmesan, spices and seasoning. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Press the zucchini mix into your baking tray so it is level and about ¼ inch thick.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden on top. Remove from the oven and tray and allow to cool slightly.
  • Slice into 8 squares (4 bases and 4 tops). Place cheese in the middle of the base and grill for about 30 - 60 seconds or until melted. Top with the other slice and serve.
  • Option to pop the top on and grill that too for about 30 seconds to warm through but careful not to burn it.

Notes

6.9g net carbs per grilled cheese sandwich. Makes 4 sandwiches. Make sure you squeeze out as much water as possible. This will make the ‘bread’ nice and firm. Cheese slices work best for the middle. Mozzarella, cheddar and gruyere all melt well. Storage: The zucchini 'bread' can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best to melt the cheese fresh.
