    How to make a juicy zucchini souffle in the oven? The recipe is very simple, although it consists of several stages. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. I have young tender zucchini, but you can replace them with ordinary pale green young zucchini. In general, it is better to use young small zucchini for this recipe. If the eggs are small, take 1 more. You can replace Parmesan with another budget hard cheese to taste.

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Put the grated zucchini and simmer over medium heat, stirring, for 10 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat.

    Step 5.

    While the zucchini is stewing, combine the milk and flour in a saucepan. Heat, stirring, over low heat for 1-2 minutes or longer. The mixture should thicken well. If in the process you could not avoid the appearance of lumps, wipe the mass through a sieve. If you don't have corn flour on hand, replace it with 1-1.5 tbsp. l. plain wheat flour.

    Step 6.

    Add the corn-milk mixture, egg yolks, grated parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the pan with stewed zucchini. Mix everything thoroughly.

    Step 7.

    Whisk the whites with a mixer into a lush, strong foam. Proteins should be cold. The dishes in which the whites will be whipped should be clean, without water droplets. If any of these conditions are violated, the squirrels will not climb as needed. When turning the bowl over, the proteins should not fall out of it.

    The finished souffle after it is taken out of the oven will fall in the center - this is normal. Enjoy your meal!

Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.
