8. Since French-style meat with zucchini is a multi-component dish, it will need to bake for at least 1 hour. To prevent the cheese crust from burning too early, it's better to cover the baking tray with foil. Place it in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the meat is fully cooked and the top is golden brown.
