Ingredients

• • 1 zucchini, grated

• • A pinch of salt
  • Fresh dill and parsley, finely chopped
  • 50 grams of cheese, grated (cheddar or mozzarella works well)

• • 50 ml milk
  • 3 tablespoons semolina
  • 2 eggs

• • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 70 grams of flour (approximately 1/2 cup)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with a little vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Zucchini:

1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. The salt helps draw out excess moisture. Squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini to ensure your casserole isn’t too wet.

Mix the Ingredients:

1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the vegetable oil and milk until well combined.

1. Add the semolina, flour, and baking powder to the egg mixture and stir until just combined.
2. Fold in the grated cheese, chopped dill, parsley, and the drained zucchini. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.

Bake the Casserole:

1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
2. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.

Serve:

1. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. This allows the casserole to set and makes it easier to cut.
2. Serve warm. It’s delicious on its own or with a side of sour cream or a fresh salad.

Serving Suggestions

• • Pair this casserole with a fresh green salad for a light and balanced meal.

• Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy yogurt dip.
• Enjoy it as a savory breakfast option or a side dish for lunch or dinner.

Cooking Tips

• • Cheese Variation: Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors. A mix of sharp cheddar and parmesan can add a nice depth of flavor.

• Herb Choices: While dill and parsley are suggested, feel free to use any other herbs you like, such as basil or thyme, for a different taste profile.
• Extra Veggies: Add some chopped bell peppers or onions for additional flavor and texture.

Nutritional Benefits

• • Zucchini is low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, contributing to a healthy diet.

• Eggs provide a good source of protein and essential nutrients.
• Using semolina and flour adds fiber and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls are a savory, flavorful appetizer that’s perfect for parties or gatherings. They’re easy to make and have a spicy, cheesy kick thanks to the addition of Rotel tomatoes, cream cheese, and sausage. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
• 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix (like Bisquick)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
3. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage (with any juices), drained Rotel tomatoes, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, biscuit mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined. It may be a bit thick and sticky, but that’s normal.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. You may want to check that they’re fully cooked by cutting one open to ensure it’s hot and the inside is fully cooked.
6. Serve: Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly before serving. These are perfect served warm as an appetizer or snack.
