Ingredients

3 medium zucchinis, grated

200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

4 large eggs, separated

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for a hint of warmth)

Directions

Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel.

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step ensures your soufflé isn’t watery.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or soufflé dish with olive oil.

In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta, Parmesan cheese, flour (if using), chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Stir in the milk or cream until the mixture is well combined.

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and fold them into the zucchini mixture.

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the zucchini mixture in batches. This step helps to keep the soufflé light and airy.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent deflating the soufflé.

Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course with a fresh salad or crusty bread.

Enjoy your fluffy, flavorful Greek zucchini feta soufflé!
