I made this yesterday and it tastes awesome BUT it’s way too moist??
Should I add more flour or cheese?
This morning the leftovers were literally swimming in moisture.
Tash says
Oh no 🙁 Was there a lot of liquid in the Thermomix bowl after grating the zucchini? Sometimes the water / moisture content in the zucchini is more than others and this could have been the reason. I would suggest adding more flour to absorb it next time, or even squeezing out the zucchini after grating it if there's a lot of liquid.
Chelleid says
This was super easy and very tasty. No need to pre-grate anything.
Melissa says
Can you use Coconut Flour instead of self raising flour? Just trying to keep low carb?
Lucy Mathieson says
I haven't tried that sorry!
Georgia says
Can you use a almond meal instead of the self raising flour?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Georgia, I haven't tried that sorry. 🙂
Samantha says
Can you reduce the flour and possible add extra egg???
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Samantha, you can but you'll end up with much more of a quiche type texture. xx
Jade says

Khadije Guner says
Hi Lucy,
I just attempted this amazing recipe and omg the aroma floating through my house right now is divine!! I cooked it in my oven for 40 minutes however when I sliced it up and plated it, it looked uncooked and feels quite moist and sticky. It currently has a perfect semi golden colour on top and i am worried i will overcook it if i put it back in. Do you have any suggestions? Should I cover it with foil?
Lucy says
Hi Khadije, no that sounds absolutely perfect!!!! The zucchini will keep it lovely and moist! xx
Karen says
Hi there. Do I grate the zucchini and carrots first before step 4? Can't wait to try this!
Lucy says
Hi there, nope the Thermie will grate them for you in Step 4! Too easy!!
