INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 medium Zucchini
1 Large Egg
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 small Onion
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish with a bit of olive oil.
Thinly slice the zucchini into rounds. Set aside a few slices for topping if desired.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and finely chopped onion until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and crumbly. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
In a small bowl, mix the part-skim ricotta with the egg until well combined. This mixture will add creaminess and help bind the bake.
Layer half of the zucchini slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the cooked beef evenly over the zucchini.
Carefully spread the ricotta and egg mixture over the beef layer.
Top with the remaining zucchini slices. Optionally, arrange the reserved zucchini slices on top for an appealing presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
