Zucchini and Parmesan Phyllo Cake

 

Zucchini and Parmesan Phyllo Cake unites phyllo dough, zucchini and parmesan cheese the best possible way! Vegetarian festival of flavours it is!

 

 

This Mediterranean recipe unites the ingredients we admire. Zucchinis and cheese are on our „the best of“ list, and are available throughout the year.

This savoury phyllo cake is made the same way as Bolognese and Mozzarella Phyllo Cake ( Snake Cake) from scratch but you can wrap the filling ingredients into store bought phyllo pastry.

 

Vegetarian version of parmesan phyllo cake is not demanding. I left grated and salted zucchini aside to rest and then, 20 minutes after, squeezed them to get 4 cups of it.

It is an important step to separate extra liquids out of them. At the end of a process, you get high quality, delicious home-made lunch, or dinner.

Parmesan and breadcrumbs sprinkled over the phyllo before zucchini enrich the flavors of this cake. Also,they make your meal both tasty and healthy.

The best phyllo dimension for this zucchini with parmesan phyllo cake is 20 x 20 inches. If you have smaller sheets, just fit them to the recipe by making two separate roles.

Here you see the phyllo layer ready to be rolled ( parmesan, bread crumbs and zucchinis divided once the dough was spread ):

Now, since I made phyllo from scratch, you see how I rolled the layer to form a log, by simply rising up an old table cloth starting from my side directed outwardly to the end of the phyllo:
