Preparation

Grate and Salt the Zucchini: Grate 2 zucchini and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze out any remaining liquid.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, 2 beaten eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Add 60 grams of flour and season with black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
Bake the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish and spread the zucchini mixture evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix 60 grams of sour cream and 60 grams of mayonnaise. Add finely chopped fresh cucumber, fresh herbs (dill or parsley), and 1 minced clove of garlic. Season with salt to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Serve the Baked Zucchini: Once the zucchini is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into portions and serve hot.
Add the Sauce: Serve the baked zucchini with the fresh herb sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling on top.
