How to make

Grate the zucchini along with the skin, sprinkle them with salt, mix and leave them for 1 hour to release their water well.

Strain the separated liquid from them, squeeze them very well and add the beaten egg, grated garlic clove, yellow cheese and black pepper. Mix well and add the flour, mixing again until a homogeneous paste is obtained.

Grab a sheet of baking paper and cut it into squares, you will need 5-6, no more for this amount of mixture.

In muffin tins, place a sheet of paper so that it fits tightly and the edges of it stick out. Pour the mixture and form it into a basket with a dent.

Bake in an oven heated to 360°F (180°C) until the edges of the baskets acquire a golden color - about 20 minutes.

Remove them from the oven and place a piece of mozzarella in the indentation of each basket. Place them back in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the mozzarella has completely melted.

After removing them from the oven, wait a few minutes and remove the paper. Arrange the baskets on a platter and stick a tomato on top of each one.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve them slightly warm.

Enjoy your meal!
