Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Take one or two zucchini, depending on their size. Slice them lengthwise into thin planks — I got nine. Put them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit a while to draw out the moisture.
Step 2:

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin slices — one for each zucchini plank.
Step 3:

You can use any cheese, but a softer one is better since it melts more easily. Slice it.
Step 4:

Chop whatever fresh herbs you like (dill, parsley, cilantro).
Step 5:

Press the garlic cloves into the mayonnaise — use as much as you like. Mix well and stir in the ground red pepper.
Step 6:

Pat the zucchini planks dry with a paper towel and dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.
Step 7:

Whisk the eggs, adding a little salt and pepper if you like, and dip the planks in them. Then dredge again in flour or breadcrumbs. I skipped this step and regretted it — the crust didn't come out as crisp.
Step 8:

Heat a skillet with the vegetable oil and fry the zucchini over high heat on both sides until golden and crisp. Remove and set on a paper towel to blot off excess oil.
Step 9:

Spread garlic mayonnaise over the entire surface of each zucchini plank.
Step 10:

Sprinkle with herbs. At one end, leaving a small margin, place a tomato slice; at the other, a piece of cheese. Roll it up, starting from the tomato end. Secure with toothpicks.
Step 11:

Set the rolls in the warm skillet with the leftover oil and keep them covered until the cheese melts.
Step 12:

The appetizer is ready. You can enjoy it hot or cold — it's just as good either way. Spicy zucchini rolls are a flavor explosion!
Step 13:

ENJOY, EVERYONE!
