Zucchini Roll Stuffed with Ham and Cheese Recipe

Add 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Add chopped parsley and mix well. There is no need to add extra salt since the Parmesan cheese is salty.
Combine Ingredients:
After letting the zucchini sit for a while, squeeze out the excess liquid.
Add the grated zucchini to the egg mixture and mix well.
Bake the Zucchini Roll:
Take a 30 x 40 cm (12 x 16 inch) baking tray and cover it with parchment paper.
Lightly oil the parchment paper with extra virgin olive oil.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared tray and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until set and slightly golden.
Cool and Prepare the Filling:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Place a layer of plastic wrap on a flat surface and transfer the baked zucchini layer onto it.
Spread the cream cheese evenly over the zucchini layer.
If using, lay the slices of cooked ham or alternative vegetables/tomatoes evenly over the cream cheese.
Roll and Chill:
Carefully roll up the zucchini layer using the plastic wrap to help keep it tight.
Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to seal the roll tightly.Place in the refrigerator and let it rest for 2 hours.
Serve:
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap.
Slice the roll into 1-2 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) pieces and arrange them on a serving dish.
Serving Suggestions:

Serve as an appetizer or a light main course.
Pair with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
