Ingredients
Method
Prep the zucchini
- Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater into a colander set over a bowl. Toss with 1 tsp salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out water.
- Squeeze the zucchini hard in a clean kitchen towel until no more liquid drips out. Set aside.
Make the batter
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F. Brush a 30x40 cm rimmed baking sheet generously with 2 tbsp olive oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and remaining 3 tbsp olive oil until smooth.
- Whisk in the flour a little at a time until the batter is smooth and lump-free, like a thin pancake batter.
- Fold in the squeezed zucchini, Parmesan, onion, marjoram, and a generous grind of black pepper.
Bake
- Pour the batter onto the prepared pan and spread evenly to about 1 cm thick, right to the edges.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are dark and crisp.
- Cool for 10 minutes on the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Squeeze zucchini bone dry, this is the biggest factor in getting crisp edges.
- Spread batter no thicker than 1 cm or the center stays gummy.
- Use a light-colored metal pan, dark pans scorch the bottom before the top browns.
- Broil for 2 minutes at the end if the edges aren't crisp enough.
