Ingredients

2 medium zucchini very thinly sliced
2 medium potatoes peeled + very thinly sliced
1 puck lemon‑rosemary Boursin
2 large eggs
½ cup milk or cream
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
Optional: 2 tbsp grated parmesan pinch of chili flakes, lemon zest

Instructions

Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
Toss zucchini + potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary until glossy and flexible.

Custard

Whisk together eggs + milk/cream.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Layering

In the prepared loaf pan:
Add a layer of potatoes
Add a layer of zucchini
Dot with small spoonfuls of Boursin
Repeat until you reach the top
Pour the custard evenly over the layers so it settles between the vegetables.

Bake

Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake 20–25 minutes more, until the top is golden and edges are crisp.

Set & Slice

Cool at least 20–30 minutes before slicing.
This helps the loaf set into clean, photogenic layers.
