Zucchini Grilled Cheese Recipes

ZUCCHINI GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut the ends from the zucchini and grate.
• Place the zucchini in a sieve and salt (this helps remove the moisture). Sit for 10-15 minutes over a bowl to catch any excess water.
• Give the grated zucchini a light wash to remove the salt, then using either nut bag, muslin cloth or strong kitchen towel, squeeze the water out of the zucchini.
• Place the squeezed zucchini into a bowl and add the almond flour, egg, Mozzarella, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Stir until the mixture is combined.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Spoon the zucchini onto the tray in 4 equal portions and shape into even squares.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 200C/400F then flip the zucchini squares over. Bake for another 10 minutes
• Remove the zucchini squares from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat.
• Put a slice of cheese in between two zucchini slices and place in the frying pan.
• Fry for 2 minutes per side and flip over for even cooking.
• Slice the zucchini sandwich into 2 and eat!

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the zucchini strips with the olive oil and salt. Grill the zucchini until just soft, about 45 seconds per side. Don't worry about the grill marks at this point. Remove to a board and lay out the strips.
• Lay the strips of zucchini on a board. Roll 1 cube of cheese in 1 strip of ham, then position the ham and cheese roll on a zucchini strip so the exposed ends of the cheese will be rolled up in the zucchini, preventing it from squeezing out. Roll the zucchini around the ham and cheese roll. Use 2 skewers to secure the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, placing 2 rolls on every pair of skewers. Place the skewers back on the grill and grill until just warmed through and grill marks have formed, about 1 minute per side. Serve warm.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI ROLLS WITH HERBS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Discard the outermost slices of zucchini and brush the rest of the slices with the oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated grill or grill pan for about 4 minutes on each side, or until tender.
• In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, parsley leaves and lemon juice, mashing with a fork.
• Put 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture about 1/2-inch from the end of a zucchini slice. Top with a few spinach leaves and 1 small, or half of a large basil leaf. Roll up and place seam side down on a platter. Repeat with the rest of the zucchini slices.

GRILLED GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the zucchini in half crosswise, then slice each half into 3 slices lengthwise, making 6 slices per zucchini.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl, and spread the mixture on both sides of each zucchini slice. Sprinkle one side of each slice with Parmesan cheese, and place the slices, cheese sides up, crosswise on the preheated grill to keep them from falling through.
• Grill the zucchini until the cheese has melted and the slices are cooked through and show grill marks, about 8 minutes.
