To prepare the Zucchini Flan, start by washing the zucchini, removing their ends and grating them using a coarse grater.
Separately, in a bowl, break the eggs and beat them with milk and oil, using a kitchen whisk.
Then add the grated Parmesan cheese, flour, and baking powder. Finally, season with a pinch of salt, a touch of pepper, and some freshly grated nutmeg.
Lastly, add the grated zucchini and the diced mozzarella, giving everything a quick stir.
Transfer the mixture into a 22 cm (9-inch) diameter baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes.

Variations and Alternatives

The Zucchini Flan recipe can be customized in various ways. For example, you can substitute mozzarella with another string cheese, or flavor the mixture with fresh herbs such as tarragon, mint, or basil.

Tips

You can also prepare individual portions using aluminum muffin tins. In this case, reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes to prevent your zucchini flans from burning.

Storage

The Zucchini Flan can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. We recommend serving it slightly warmed in the oven or at room temperature.
