Instructions:
Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into thin strips.

- Dip each zucchini strip first in the flour, then in the whisked eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.
Fry the Zucchini:
- Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the coated zucchini strips to the skillet in batches.
- Fry each strip for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the fried zucchini strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Place a spoonful of the cheese and tomato filling at one end of each fried zucchini strip.
- Carefully roll up the zucchini strip, starting from the end with the filling.
- Secure each roll with a toothpick if necessary.
