Prepare the zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchini thinly, lengthwise. Lightly grill them on a hot griddle for 1-2 minutes per side, just long enough to soften them.
Prepare the ingredients: Cut the mozzarella into slices or cubes, leaving it to drain to avoid too much water during cooking.
Assemble the parmigiana: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom, then a layer of zucchini, followed by mozzarella, parmesan, and more béchamel sauce. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
Baking: Sprinkle the surface with Parmesan cheese and, if desired, a little breadcrumbs for a gratin effect. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Serving: Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting, for a perfect consistency.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve it warm to best appreciate its creaminess.
Serve it with a fresh seasonal salad.
It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, covered with plastic wrap. It can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
Also excellent cold as a summer dish.
