Ingredients
- – 2 cups grated zucchini, packed (2 medium zucchinis, 380g / 13 oz grated)
- – 3/4 tsp (4 ml) salt
- – 8 slices beef cheese (200g / 6.5 oz)
- – 1 1/4 cups / 315 ml milk (any, I use low fat)
- – 1/4 cup / 45 g melted butter, unsalted
- – 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil (or other neutral flavored oil)
- – 2 eggs
- – 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
- – 1 tsp (5 ml) white vinegar
- – 2 1/4 cups / 335 g plain / all purpose flour
- – 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) baking soda (bi-carb)
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt
Instructions
- Utilize a standard box grater to shred the zucchini. Take 2 cups of it, put it in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and use your fingers to mix it. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
- Squeeze out excess moisture by hand and transfer the zucchini to a bowl. Set it aside.
- Set your oven to preheat at 180°C / 350°F for all types of ovens.
- Grease and line a loaf pan.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients using a whisk.
- Create a hollow in the middle of the dry mixture. Pour in the wet mixture and stir quickly until the flour is mixed in.
- Quickly fold in the zucchini.
- Spread one-third of the mixture into the loaf pan. Layer with 4 slices of cheese.
- Add more batter, then place another 4 slices of cheese on top, and finish with the remaining batter. Smooth the surface.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center emerges clean.
- Optionally, brush the top with some melted butter.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a rack to cool further. Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Store in a container, taking note of the warning for humid conditions.
