Instructions

Making the zucchini bread

Cut the ends from the zucchini and grate.
Place the zucchini in a sieve and salt (this helps remove the moisture). Sit for 10-15 minutes over a bowl to catch any excess water.
Give the grated zucchini a light wash to remove the salt, then using either nut bag, muslin cloth or strong kitchen towel, squeeze the water out of the zucchini.
Place the squeezed zucchini into a bowl and add the almond flour, egg, Mozzarella, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Stir until the mixture is combined.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spoon the zucchini onto the tray in 4 equal portions and shape into even squares.
Bake for 15 minutes at 200C/400F then flip the zucchini squares over. Bake for another 10 minutes
Remove the zucchini squares from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.

Making the Zucchini Grilled Cheese

Heat the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat.
Put a slice of cheese in between two zucchini slices and place in the frying pan.
Fry for 2 minutes per side and flip over for even cooking.
Slice the zucchini sandwich into 2 and eat!
