Preparation

How to prepare Stuffed zucchini swirls

To make these stuffed zucchini swirls, start by washing and tipping the zucchini. Use a mandolin to cut them into slices lengthwise, around 5/32"-13/64" mm thick 1. You'll need 36 slices of zucchini. Cut the cheese into slices that are the same width as the zucchini slices 2. Now take a slice of zucchini and lay it over 2 slices of cheese 3.

You'll need to cover the entire surface 4. Add a slice of ham 5 and top with another slice of zucchini 6.

Roll it up 7 and spear with 2 toothpicks to hold it in place 8. Once you have finished rolling up all the zucchini slices with a cheese and ham filling, you will have 18 swirls 9.

Heat the seed oil for frying. In the meantime, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip the swirls in the egg 19 and then coat with breadcrumbs 11. Fry 2-3 swirls at a time in the oil at a temperature of 340°F, for around 4-5 minutes 12.
