Zucchini roll with cheese: I cook every weekend, but it's not enough for my husband

Zucchini are great for learning how to cook a wide variety of dishes, from appetizers and soups to desserts. Plus, they go well with many foods. I offer you some simple recipes for a zucchini roll with cheese and other ingredients, and you can cook them both in the oven and in a pan.

A simple recipe for zucchini rolls with cheese in the oven

A light snack will not require much time and special expenses from you. Since the roll is baked in the oven and not fried, it can be classified as a dietary meal.

You will need:

• 500 g zucchini;
• 4 eggs;
• 200 g of hard cheese;
• 200 grams of unsalted cream cheese;
• salt to taste.

Add pepper or your favorite spices if desired. The roll will be filled with cream cheese, if you mix it with chopped fresh herbs, it will be even tastier.

1. It is better to take young zucchini, then you do not have to peel them. Zucchini is great. Wash them thoroughly and grate on a medium grater. Salt a little, stir the mixture and let it stand for 20 minutes until the juice comes out. Drain it and squeeze the courgettes out a little.

   

   Young zucchini are ideal

2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, add them to the courgettes, add grated hard cheese, salt and season with spices. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

   

   Make the dough by mixing the courgettes with the beaten egg, cheese and the rest of the ingredients

3. Spread parchment on a baking sheet, pour the zucchini-cheese dough and flatten with a spoon. Place in an oven preheated to 180–190 ° C. Cook until the dough sets. You can hold it until the surface is slightly golden. But keep in mind: if you overexpose the workpiece, it will be difficult to roll it into a roll.

   

   Bake the crust until tender, but do not dry it

4. Carefully remove the crust from the parchment to prevent damage. Let cool to room temperature. Brush with cream cheese evenly. Roll gently into a roll, tightening lightly with your hands. After wrapping the roll in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator for several hours. This will keep it in shape and be easy to cut.

5. Cut the finished roll into pieces, put on plates. To make the appetizer look more elegant, you can decorate it with sprigs of fresh parsley and dill, and put halves of cherry tomatoes between the pieces.

   

   Such a roll is suitable not only for every day, but also for a festive table.

Zucchini roll with cheese and mushrooms

The oven will help you prepare another light, but more satisfying version of the roll with the addition of mushrooms.

For the test you will need:

• 2 zucchini;
• 1 onion;
• 3 eggs;
• 1 cup flour;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• salt, fresh or dry dill - to taste.

Also take for the filling:

• 350 g of champignons;
• 1 onion;
• 100 g of cheese;
• 1 tbsp. l. sour cream;
• salt, pepper, dill - to taste;
• mayonnaise - to taste;
• vegetable oil for frying.

Of course, you can use not only champignons, but any other mushrooms as well. My family, for example, loves chanterelles and whites. The only thing I would advise on my own is to pre-boil them for just a few minutes before cooking further for the filling. Maybe this is paranoia, based on rumors about pesticides and other poisons in the soil, but in any case, mushrooms and oyster mushrooms grown in greenhouse conditions definitely do not contain harmful substances, so they do not need additional heat treatment.

1. Grate the courgettes, squeeze them out to remove excess moisture. Add onion, dill, grated on a coarse grater to them, beat in egg yolks, add flour and baking powder. Mix everything thoroughly.

   

   The dough for the roll should not be watery

2. Beat the egg whites until firm foam, gradually add to the dough, stirring all the time, preferably clockwise. Place the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper. Place in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 30–35 minutes. When the crust is browned, remove the crust and let it cool.

   

   Whipped whites will make the crust thick and soft

3. In the meantime, prepare the filling. Fry the sliced mushrooms with onion until tender, add sour cream, salt and pepper at the end. The filling should also cool.

   

   Fry the mushrooms and onions well for the filling

4. Spread the filling on the crust in an even layer and sprinkle with grated cheese on top.

5. Roll the cake into a roll, place it on a baking sheet, spread with mayonnaise and sprinkle with cheese. Place in the oven again and keep there for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is browned.

• 2-3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise;
• 3-4 cloves of garlic.

1. Cut the washed zucchini lengthwise into thin (about 0.5 cm) strips. Place them in a preheated skillet with a little vegetable oil and fry on both sides. Can be fried lightly or until golden brown.

   

   Fry the zucchini in oil on both sides, lightly salting

2. Make a mixture of finely grated garlic and cheese. Cut the tomato into slices. It is desirable that the fruit is not overripe, with very small bones.

   

   Blot the zucchini with a napkin before laying out the filling to keep it dry

3. Lightly blot the zucchini wedges with a tissue to remove excess moisture. Spread the cheese and garlic mixture over the zucchini, put on a slice of tomato. Roll up the rolls and secure with skewers.
