Serve 4:

• Zucchini (4 or 5 depending on size)

• Goat cheese
• 4 sprigs of mint
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 330°F (165°C). Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends and detail sliced ​​zucchini very finely using a mandolin slicer or a vegetable peeler.
2. Mix the eggs, cream, salt and pepper together.
3. Place the zucchini slices, slightly overlapping, in a round gratin dish. Make only one layer of vegetable. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and chopped mint​.
4. Pour the egg mixture and bake for 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven.

Note: Zucchini slices must be very thin. They should not be more than 1 or 2 mm thick … otherwise zucchini water will soak your dish and make it soggy.
