Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Use fresh vegetables: I have a small zucchini, and medium-sized tomato and pepper. I use hard Parmesan cheese, but any flavorful, high-quality, and well-melting cheese will work. Sour cream should be 15% fat. Prepare a baking dish and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 2
Rinse all vegetables under cold running water and dry them with a towel. If the zucchini is young, there’s no need to peel it. If the skin is tough, peel it and remove the seeds if necessary. Slice zucchini into 0.2 inch (0.5 cm) rings. Cut the stem from the pepper, remove seeds, and slice into rings (or half-rings if the pepper is large and the zucchini small). Remove the stem from the tomato and slice it into rings.
Step 3
In the baking dish, arrange the vegetables vertically, alternating them: zucchini, pepper, zucchini, tomato, and so on. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper (you can also add other dry spices to taste).
Step 4
Brush all vegetables with sour cream. Crack an egg into a bowl, add milk, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and beat well with a fork. Pour the egg-milk mixture evenly over the vegetables.
Step 5
Grate the cheese on a medium or coarse grater and sprinkle it evenly over the vegetables. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Step 6
Serve the vegetables hot. Though in summer, they are also delicious when cooled. These baked zucchini with vegetables can be served as a light main dish or accompanied by pasta, potatoes, or meat for a heartier meal.
