We wash the vegetables well under a stream of cold water, making sure to remove any impurities. Zucchini is the main ingredient, so we peel them to achieve a finer, more delicate texture. After peeling, we slice them thinly, ensuring that their thickness is consistent for even cooking. Now we focus on the tomatoes; we choose some tasty, meaty ones, which we also slice into pieces of the same size.
We prepare a baking tray that we grease with olive oil, making sure to cover the entire surface. We start layering the slices of zucchini and tomatoes, alternating them nicely to create an appealing and appetizing look. This technique not only enhances the dish's appearance but also allows the flavors to blend during baking. We generously season with salt and pepper to taste, to intensify the flavors of the vegetables.
After arranging the vegetables in the tray, we place it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. This first baking stage will help the vegetables soften and release their natural juices. In the meantime, we prepare the cheese sauce: in the mixer bowl, we beat a fresh egg together with two tablespoons of sour cream, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. We also add cheese, which can be feta or our favorite cheese, to provide extra flavor and a savory taste.
After 15 minutes of baking, we carefully take the tray out of the oven. Over the beautifully cooked vegetables, we pour the cheese sauce, ensuring it distributes evenly. On top, we sprinkle Provence herbs, which add a Mediterranean note to the dish, flavoring every bite. We return the tray to the oven for another 20 minutes, the necessary time for the cheese to melt and turn golden.
When the dish is ready, we take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Finally, we sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, which will provide a color contrast and an extra freshness. This simple yet delicious recipe can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Enjoy your meal!
