The season for frozen treats is over but I still had this one in the freezer. Quite simple to make and yummy.

Not a fan of the taste of soy milk (which was quite mellow in this anyway, it's chocolatey creamy) so next time I'm using oat milk. @graveyarddirt I don't know if you recognise the saucer, it's the one you gifted me and yes I still have the coffee cup that goes with it as well

Zucchini loaf

Photographed in the tin because I was afraid it would fall apart but it didn't, it actually held together pretty well. But I forgot to take another picture.

2 medium zucchini (about 700, 800 grams)

100 g ricotta

80 g grated parmesan

80 g breadcrumbs

2 eggs

Optional: ham and/or cheese, cubed

Grate (chop, spiralize) the zucchini, add about 1,5 teaspoon of salt, mix well, and let it sit for at least one hour. Take a clean tea towel and squeeze as much liquid out of the zucchini as you can.

Mix breadcrumbs and parmesan, and set aside a large spoonful. Prepare the tin by greasing it with oil or butter.

Mix all the ingredients with also some pepper (since zucchini were previously salted, it shouldn't need any more), fill the tin, sprinkle the breadcrumbs/parmesan mixture you had set aside on top, bake at 200°C for 25 minutes.

Could probably be made into patties and fried.

Orzo with feta and cherry tomatoes

For 2 portions:

Large handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half (or larger, chopped)

onion, garlic, oregano

150 g orzo

1 cup of vegetable stock

feta (about one 200 g block)

salt and pepper

lemon

In a pan that has a lid, add some oil, cook briefly onion and garlic, add tomatoes, salt, oregano, cover and cook for about 10 minutes.

Remove the lid, add orzo, mix well, let it cook for a minute or so, then add stock and place half of the feta block in the middle. Put the lid back on and cook for 10 minutes (or check the instructions for orzo on the package). While it's cooking, check if it dries out too much and add liquid if needed. Remove the lid, give it a stir (feta should be creamy by now) add the rest of the feta by crumbling it on top, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, adjust seasoning if needed

Air fryer cheese muffins

pretty much the same as these but swap sugar for cheese. I've added bell pepper to the bottom right one.

¼ cup plain yogurt

¼ cup neutral tasting oil

¾ cup self-raising flour (about 100 grams cake flour+1 scant tsp baking powder)

1 egg

¼ cup freshly grated parmesan (or other hard cheese, if you use pre-grated fluff it up a bit or you'll end up with too much cheese)

¼ cup cheese of your choice, cubed

Mix all the dry ingredients, mix all the wet ingredients, mix them together, preheat the air fryer for a few minutes, put into 3 tulip or tall muffin cases or 6 standard ones, bake 20 mins at 140°C, test with a toothpick

If you don’t use self-raising flour, you can swap 1 of the three measuring cups for another flour: cornmeal, rice flour, cornflour...

About muffin cases: around these parts the standard is 30mm tall, they fit nicely into standard 6 or 12 muffin pans, with this amount you should have muffins without much of a muffin top. The ones I used here are from ikea and they're 40 mm tall, and since I bake them in single portion tins they grow tall and don't have the muffin top shape.
