Instructions: 

Preparing the Zucchini Base: 

  1. Grate the Zucchini: 
  • Shred the zucchini and transfer it to a colander. Add a pinch of salt and allow it to rest for approximately 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Afterward, press or squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as you can. 
  1. Prepare the Batter: 
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the grated zucchini, flour, and sour cream (or mayonnaise). Mix well to combine. 
  1. Cook the Zucchini Base: 
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Spread the zucchini mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer. 
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini base is set and lightly golden. Let it cool slightly. 

Preparing the Spread: 

  1. Mix the Spread: 
  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped dill. Mix until smooth and well blended. 

Assembling the Zucchini Roll: 

  1. Spread the Cream Cheese Mixture: 
  • Once the zucchini base has cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface. 
  1. Add the Filling: 
  • Arrange the sliced cucumber, tomato, and bell pepper evenly over the cream cheese layer. 
  1. Roll the Zucchini Base: 
  • Carefully roll up the zucchini base, starting from one end and rolling tightly to form a log. 
  1. Chill the Roll: 
  • Wrap the zucchini roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld. 

Serving: 

  1. Slice and Serve: 
  • Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice the zucchini roll into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter.
