Ingredients
6 zucchinis, washed
4 eggs
2 teaspoons ghee (or extra virgin olive oil)
1 bouquet fresh basil, washed
Pink Himalayan salt
Fresh black pepper
Steps
Pre-heat the oven at 350F.
Cut 2 zucchinis into quarter inch disks and sautée them into a pan with ghee until both sides are golden. Place them to the side on a paper towel.
Cut the remaining 4 zucchinis into one-inch cubes and sautée them into the same pan with ghee and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and simmer for 15-20 min tossing every so often, until water has evaporated completely.
In a blender, blend cubed zucchinis and basil into a puree (keep the disks for later!). Now, add the eggs one at a time into the mixture and blend the mixture again for a few seconds only. Season with salt & pepper.
Butter a baking dish (or use a silicon baking dish). Cover its bottom surface with the zucchini disks that you goldened in step 2 and pour the mixture on top.
Fill your oven drip pan with 1.5 inches of water and place the baking dish on the oven drip pan - this is a bain marie technique!
Bake for 50min and serve lukewarm or room temperature.
