Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 5 eggs
- 100 g sour cream
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 80 g green onions, finely chopped
- 200 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 100 g salami, sliced or diced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
-
Slice the Vegetables: Thinly slice the zucchini and tomatoes. Chop the green onions finely for a fresh topping.
-
Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the 5 eggs. Add the sour cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
-
Assemble the Layers: Begin with a layer of boiled potato slices at the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of zucchini slices, followed by tomato slices. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and salami evenly across the vegetables. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a potato layer on top.
-
Pour the Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and sour cream mixture evenly over the layered casserole. Make sure it seeps into all the layers.
-
Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top for a gooey, golden crust.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is fully set.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the casserole a day in advance, store it in the fridge, and bake when ready.
- Customizable: Swap out salami for ham, cooked chicken, or even a vegetarian alternative like sautéed mushrooms.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain its crispy top.
