The recipe for ham and cheese zucchini gratin
Super easy and quick to make, this zucchini gratin is perfect when you don’t feel like cooking. And for good reason, it only requires 4 ingredients.
The ingredients for 4 people :
- 1 zucchini
- 4 slices of ham
- 200g feta
- 75g grated Comté cheese
The recipe steps:
- Start by washing the zucchini and then cut it into strips. In a cake tin, arrange strips to cover the bottom. Then cut pieces of ham and place on the zucchini. Finish with crumbled feta.
- Make at least 3 or 4 overlapping layers as it shrinks a lot when cooking.
- Cover the top with grated Comté cheese.
- Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
Advice : zucchini may release water. Marielle Djikpessé has a little trick to avoid this. “You can add a few grains of rice to absorb the water or a little breadcrumbs.“
