Equipment

  • Waffle maker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1 medium zucchini (about 150 g), grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100 g hard cheese (feta recommended)
  • 200 g Greek yogurt (not plain yogurt)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated or crushed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, grate the zucchini using the large holes of a grater.
  • Add the grated cheese, eggs, garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and chopped dill, then mix again until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the wet ingredients in two batches, stirring well to avoid lumps.
  • Preheat and lightly grease the waffle maker. Cook the batter until the waffles are golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Serve warm, optionally with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a fresh salad.
