The key to this dish is about moisture control. The first time I did it, it started out as a roasted zucchini dish and it required too much oil to get the texture I wanted. The second time, I used less oil but it put off too much water. That's why it's now a "pan casserole" whatever the hell that means.
Well, fuck. I have to write an excerpt. I hate these things.
I'm posting this for my offspring who requested I do so. I have no idea what he will do with it, not my problem, but here it is.
He digs it. MrsDamnCook digs it and at only 154 calories per portion, I can dig it, too.
I like to serve mine over cauliflower rice if I'm dieting. If I'm not, I like to serve over real rice with a side of cornbread. That reminds me. I really need to post some cornbread recipes. I have three. Regardless of what you serve them with, I tend to like to garnish mine with fresh, finely chopped raw tomatoes and onion.
Cheers.
Oh. In the photo, there is actually some nasty ass low fat Italian cheese blend on top. Don't do that. It's not worth it. Rather than melt well, it just turns into some kind of vaguely cheese flavored polymer. Unless you're into vaguely cheese flavored polymers, then go for it, but just know the calories will increase.
You can see from the images this is not a pretty dish, but I swear, it's really not bad for diet food. Always the "for diet food" qualifier. Ugh.
Anyway, if you serve it with one piece of the diet naan, the whole thing makes a decent 193 calorie meal.
You'll probably have leftovers which, honestly make fairly decent, albeit weird taco filling.
It seems stupid to actually enter a recipe into this. It's like sandwich day back in cooking school when we were taught to spread mayonnaise in a smooth, s-shaped motion.
This is very filling and versatile. If you want to cud down on calories, move to one egg, or skip the ham. Whatever you want.
