Zucchini baked with cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Use young zucchini for this dish, as they have a thin skin that's perfect for baking. Don't be afraid to get creative. For example, I added some fresh herbs and served it on a large plate with salad leaves. It's vegetable season, so you can place the dish on a bed of tomatoes or roasted potatoes, which will also serve as a side. Serve hot.

3. At this stage, you can experiment. I prepared mine like this: I placed the zucchini, then a tomato on top, and covered it with cheese. This way, I got separate "columns." In some cookbooks, authors suggest a different approach: you can lay the vegetables one after another (like ratatouille), spread mayonnaise on top, and cover with a "cap" of cheese. Other authors recommend a similar sequence, but before adding the cheese topping, they suggest pouring beaten eggs over everything. The classic recipe for baked zucchini with cheese looks exactly like this.
