Savory Zucchini Cheese Bars
Last week, during a visit, we were served with delicious zucchini bars. In that moment, the children and the husband insisted I should definitely make some for the website, saying they were so good that it would be such a shame not to share them. I was restless until I got the recipe. I did a research for myself, I improvised and we liked the result even more.
Zucchini cheese bars are very similar in taste to this zucchini fritters, but it's the oven-baked version, much lighter but just as good. I don't recommend making it too high. The texture will be much more pleasant, and the baked crust will give an extra taste. So, I used a 26cm diameter baking sheet. If you make it in a smaller or larger sheet, adjust the amount of ingredients proportionally.

Step by step
Step 1
For guidance, my vegetables were this size.
Of course, wash and peel them.
Step 2
Shred the zucchinis through the side with larger holes.
Step 3
Drain the liquid very well. For this, move the grated zucchini in a kitchen towel, tighten the ends and press as hard as possible.
This way, if the zucchini is well drained, the pudding will have a more pleasant and less watery texture.
Step 4
Now transfer the drained zucchini to a large bowl. Add the grated carrot and the finely chopped onion.
Step 5
Add in 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a little ground black pepper, mix.
Step 6
Then stir in the grated cheese (on the side with the bigger holes).
Step 7
At the end, add the flour and baking powder, mix well (with a whisk or spoon) until the mixture is smooth and not lumpy.
Step 8
The texture of the batter should be a bit denser, like a thick cream.
Step 9
Line the sheet (here 26cm) with baking paper and grease the base and the sides with a little softened butter.
Step 10
Move the zucchini batter in the oven sheet, even out.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 45-50 minutes, or until evenly browned.
Then leave on the table to cool in the pan for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
Step 12
After this time, carefully remove the sides of the pan (if it's a springform pan), portion and serve.
It's delicious when it's hot, but cold also.
Enjoy!
