Another Greek family dish, called Sfouggato, that I loved growing up. It is very easy and 100% Keto. This is one of the recipes that I didn't have to ketofy as in this one, there is nothing that needed to be eliminated! Even though the name may sound Italian, it is a Greek dish from the Greek Islands and there are several variations depending on the island. The one from Santorini has flour mixed in it, if you want the keto version, skip the flour. It doesn't really change the recipe, and you won't feel its absence!
This is a quick dish that tastes even better the next day. It's also good to eat it cold.
Ingredients:
Servings: 10
3 large zucchini
1 large white onion
Fresh parsley
1 c good quality olive oil
6 eggs
4oz feta cheese (cut up in pieces)
2 cups sharp cheeses (separate into 1.5 cup and ½ cup)
Salt and pepper
Butter for the pan
How to:
- Shred the zucchini, add salt and leave overnight in a strainer
- Dice the onion and put it with the olive oil in a pan to sauté.
- Add the zucchini, parsley and salt and pepper to taste
- Cook for 10-15 minutes
- Remove from the heat and add feta cheese and 1.5 c of sharp cheeses, mix well
- Add eggs and mix thoroughly and quickly so they don’t start cooking.
- Butter up a pan and pour in the mixture
- Top with the remaining ½ cup of sharp cheeses
- Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Cooking time depends on your oven.
- Serve with salad and enjoy!
Notes:
You can use parmesan, sharp cheddar, romano, asiago, fontina or if you have access to Greek cheeses, kasseri, graviera and kefalograviera work very well.
You may add ham, bacon and heavy cream if you want to make it "richer" but I can assure you that you will love it as is. Try it and let me know what you think in the comments. I would love to hear from you!
