Zucchini and Feta Gratin

  • 1 1/2 pounds zucchini -- 750gr 1/4" slices
  • 3 ounces feta cheese
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons mint -- or 1tbsp fresh
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 pinch nutmeg -- grated

  1. This gratin is quickly assembled, and can be eaten hot or cold. The combination of mint and feta gives it the most refreshing flavor. It can serve as a main dish or side.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F-190°C. Oil a 2-quart gratin dish with olive oil.
  3. Steam the zucchini for 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water and drain on paper towels.
  4. Transfer to the gratin dish and toss with salt and pepper.
  5. Blend together the eggs and cheese in a food processor, or in a bowl with a whisk, until fairly smooth. Add the mint and nutmeg, and a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Pour over the zucchini. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until set and just beginning to brown on the top. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

**NOTE TO MY FRIENDS**
Come on in for a nice cup of coffee and a chat about my weight loss journey as well as all the healthy recipes I have found, including WW points and/or nutritional information if available. I am eating a vegetarian diet and concentrating on getting healthy and hopefully weight loss will follow. Thank to all my readers for their ongoing support.
