Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a casserole of zucchini and tomatoes with cheese in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take hard or melted cheese. It is better to take an unripe tomato so that it is not too soft and watery. Turn on the oven at 180 degrees in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the zucchini and dry. If the zucchini skin is rough, peel it. The skin of young fruits is tender and does not need to be cut off. Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater. Add a little salt to them and leave for 5 minutes. During this time, the zucchini will give juice.
