Cook: 50 mins

Servings: 3

Ingredients

• Zucchini – 250-300 g (1 pc.)
• Tomato – 150-200 g (1 pc.)
• Hard cheese – 100 g
• Wheat flour – 140 g
• Eggs – 3 pcs.
• Baking dough – 1 teaspoon (no slide)
• Dried garlic – 1/3 teaspoon
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste
• Vegetable oil (for lubricating the mold) – 1 tbsp

Directions

1. Wash and dry the zucchini. Grate the zucchini on a medium grater and squeeze out the juice well.

   

2. Combine eggs, salt, ground pepper and dried garlic in a deep bowl.

   

3. Shake the eggs with a whisk or fork.
4. Transfer the squeezed zucchini to a bowl.
5. Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into small cubes. Drain any excess liquid from chopped tomatoes. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl.
6. Add wheat flour and baking powder.
7. To stir thoroughly. The dough should be quite thick and fall off the spoon or whisk in a lump. The flour and juiciness of vegetables may differ, so if the dough is thin, add some more flour.
8. Cut the cheese into large cubes. I needed 9 cubes – exactly the number of muffins.
9. Grease the muffin mold with vegetable oil. Pour the dough into each compartment, filling it to about half. Put a cheese cube in the center of each dough cell, slightly dipping it into the dough.
10. Place a little more dough in each compartment so that it covers the cheese.
    I have a 6 muffin plate, so I baked the muffins twice.
11. Bake muffins in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, until “dry skewer”.
12. Delicate juicy squash muffins with tomatoes and cheese filling are ready.
    Cool muffins slightly, remove from molds and serve.

    

Bon Appetit!
