  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 12 oz. of lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread tomatoes and zucchini over sheet. Roast vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large, nonstick skillet, saute beef, onion and garlic until beef is browned. Stir in tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
  3. Spread beef mixture in a large, shallow baking dish and top with roasted vegetables. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F.
  4. Whisk together cottage cheese, egg yolk, cheddar cheese, herbs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon over roasted vegetables and smooth with a rubber spatula.
  5. Bake until very hot and bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Cut into six equal pieces and serve.
