Servings: 12 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis, grated (or 4 small zucchinis)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ears of corn
- 2 large shallots, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 tablespoon butter (ghee, coconut oil, or favorite cooking oil works)
- 15 oz. (about 2 cups) whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 oz. (about 1/4 cup) honey goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a strainer, toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. I found it easiest to shred it directly into a clean, thin dish towel for easy squeezing later.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the corn for about 3 – 5 minutes. Transfer to a strainer and set aside.
- In a pan, over medium heat, sauté the shallots and garlic in the butter until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest, dill, eggs and sautéd shallots and garlic.
- Cut the corn off the cob and add it to the bowl.
- Whisk to combine everything together.
- Squeeze all the liquid out of the zucchini shreds in a clean, thin dish towel.
- Fold the zucchini into the mixture.
- Fill molds and sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese.
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes until golden brown on top.
