Ingredients:
- 2 zucchini (courgettes)
- 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup (100ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil + extra for greasing

How to make Zucchini and Potato Bake:
- Trim the ends of the zucchini, slice them using a mandoline, and transfer to a non-stick pan greased with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Season the zucchini with salt and pepper, mix, cover with a lid, and let them cook for 2 minutes on low heat. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and sugar. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) of olive oil and mix well. Incorporate the milk, then add the flour and baking powder (sifted) and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the grated potato (squeezed to remove excess water) and minced onion. Add the zucchini and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a glass loaf pan, level it, distribute spoonfuls of cream cheese on top, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes. Once done, let the bake settle for a moment before serving.
