Directions

  1. 1Wash the zucchinis and slice them into round pieces (not too thick, not too thin).
  2. 2Place the zucchini slices on a wooden board or tray.
  3. 3Sprinkle salt on both sides of the zucchini slices and set them aside for a few minutes to draw out excess water and add flavor.
  4. 4Finely chop the fresh dill.
  5. 5Dice the tomatoes into small cubes.
  6. 6Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a fork or whisk.
  7. 7Pour some all-purpose flour into a shallow plate.
  8. 8Add the cornflakes to another shallow plate or bowl and crush them lightly by hand or with a blender if they are too big.
  9. 9Take each zucchini slice and dip it first in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the crushed cornflakes, ensuring it is coated well on all sides.
  10. 10Place the coated zucchini slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  11. 11Place the tray in a preheated oven (around 180–200°C / 350–400°F).
  12. 12Bake for about 20–25 minutes or until the slices are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through to cook evenly.
  13. 13In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the chopped dill and crushed garlic.
  14. 14Stir the sauce well until it becomes smooth.
  15. 15Taste the sauce and add salt if needed.
  16. 16Take the baked zucchini slices out of the oven.
  17. 17Using a teaspoon, add a small amount of sauce on top of each slice.
  18. 18Sprinkle a few diced tomatoes over the sauce.
  19. 19Finish by adding shredded cheese (or small cheese cubes) on top of each slice.
  20. 20Return the tray to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden.
  21. 21Take the zucchini rolls out of the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
