About This Recipe
A light zucchini casserole with minced meat and tomatoes can become one of your favorite autumn dishes. The casserole itself is baked in the oven, while the minced meat is pre-fried in a pan. This significantly speeds up the process. For this dish, we suggest using chicken mince: it is lighter and pairs well with the neutral taste of zucchini. However, this is not mandatory and is at the discretion of the cook. Grate the zucchini and thoroughly squeeze out the juice. If you skip this step, the mixture will become too liquid. Any cheese will do, the main thing is that it melts well. Whether to add herbs or not is also up to you. The casserole becomes extraordinarily juicy and tender thanks to the egg-sour cream filling, and the garlic adds a tangy flavor. Our step-by-step recipe with photos will help you prepare the perfect zucchini casserole.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Peel and chop the onion. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the onion and fry, stirring frequently, until light golden brown.
Step 2
Add minced meat, stir. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it changes color. Then cover with a lid and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until done.
Step 3
Season the minced meat with salt, ground black pepper and stir. Dilute the tomato paste in a small amount of water and pour into the speedoda, and then stir again.
Step 4
Add dried garlic and Provençal herbs to the minced meat, mix again and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from heat and set to cool slightly. Do not remove the cover yet.
Step 5
If the zucchini is young, then you don’t have to peel it or remove the seeds. Grate them on a coarse grater. Season with salt, stir and leave for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Then drain the water from the zucchini (or put it in a colander), and carefully squeeze the grated zucchini with your hands to remove excess moisture (otherwise the casserole will turn out too watery).
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour a little oil into a deep mold and spread it with a silicone brush over the entire surface.
Step 8
Place about half of the grated zucchini on the bottom of the pan and distribute it evenly. Then place the cooled minced meat on top. Place the remaining zucchini on the layer of minced meat.
Step 9
In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a hand whisk, add sour cream (it is better to take no more than 20%), salt to taste, ground black pepper. Mix well again.
Step 10
Peel the garlic cloves and then pass through a press. If you don’t have this tool at hand, you can grate the garlic on a fine grater, or just chop it very finely.
Step 11
It is better to use hard cheese. Grate it with a coarse or fine grater, and then add half to the egg-sour cream mixture. Stir until smooth.
Step 12
Using a very sharp knife, cut the tomatoes into circles. Place on top of casserole.
Step 13
Wash the parsley, dry it, and then remove the tough stems. Chop the leaves very finely and distribute evenly over the tomatoes. You can add any greens to your taste.
Step 14
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top of the casserole, and then pour in the prepared egg-sour cream filling so that it is evenly distributed throughout the casserole.
Step 15
Place the dish in a preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes. We advise you to cover the casserole with foil so that the top does not burn and it is better baked inside.
Step 16
Then remove the foil and bake in the oven for another 10 minutes. During this time, excess liquid will evaporate from the casserole, and the top will be covered with a golden, delicious crust.
Step 17
Cool the casserole slightly in the pan, and then cut into rectangular portions. Can be served with sour cream or your favorite sauce.
