It is important to use good quality parchment so that the courgette does not stick much. You can use a silicone or Teflon mat.

How to make a roll of zucchini with cheese? Prepare the products. Which squash will work best? Choose young fruits with a delicate skin. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut a very thin skin. If using more mature courgettes, cut off the coarse skin and cut out the seed middle.

Grate the courgette on a fine grater, add the salt, then squeeze the juice well.

Wash the eggs, then separate the yolks from the proteins. Be sure to wash your eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Whisk the yolks lightly with salt and spices. Choose spices to your liking or presence.

Wash the greens, dry well and finely chop. Combine the courgette, yolks, finely chopped greens and stir.

In a separate bowl, whisk the whites into a strong foam.

Inject half of the whipped proteins into the vegetable mass. Stir the mass with a blade in very neat bottom-up movements.

Pour in the flour sifted with baking powder and mix gently as well.

Then introduce the remaining proteins and mix until homogeneous with the same bottom-up movements. It is important to act carefully to preserve the air bubbles that formed when whipped. They are the ones who will make the dough airy.

Cover the baking sheet with baking paper. Oil her. Put the dough on the paper, gently flatten it with a spatula. The layer thickness should be no more than 1 cm. Put a baking tray with dough to bake in the oven, pre-heated to 180 degrees.

While the cake is baking, grate the cheese on a fine grater.

The finished bark will hardly brown outwardly. If, when pressed, the dough springs slightly, and does not push through, then the cake is ready. It will take 15-20 minutes to bake.

Remove the finished courgette cake from the tray with the paper and apply sour cream hot. If desired, you can add crushed garlic to sour cream, this will make the snack sharper. Then sprinkle the cake evenly with the grated cheese.

Until the bark has cooled, carefully but quickly roll up the roll, separating it from the parchment. The cheese inside has to melt, so it's important that the bark is warm. Let the roll cool and then chill.

Cut the roll into portion pieces and serve, garnishing with herbs. Enjoy your meal!
