The best zucchini terrine recipe

Here is a delicious recipe to prepare a zucchini terrine:

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 200 g grated cheese (you can use Gruyere, Emmental or any other cheese you like)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream (liquid cream)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as thyme, basil, or parsley) to garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a terrine pan or standard-sized loaf pan and sprinkle with a little breadcrumbs.
  2. Wash the zucchini and cut them into thin slices.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the zucchini slices to the pan and sauté everything together for about 7-10 minutes, until the zucchini are tender but still hold their shape. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream. Add the grated cheese and mix well. Add the cooked zucchini and stir until well distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, pressing lightly to compact it. Sprinkle a little more grated cheese on top if you like.
  7. Bake the terrine in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
  8. Once ready, remove the terrine from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before removing it from the mold.
  9. Serve the zucchini terrine hot or at room temperature, decorated with fresh herbs if desired. You can accompany it with a fresh salad and crusty bread.
