Ingredients
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon mixed spices
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 large eggs
- 6 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

Preparation
Set the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Prepare a medium-sized oven dish suitable for serving.
In a deep bowl, put saffron and milk and set aside.
Cut off the ends of the zucchinis using a knife.
In a food processor with the slicing blade, slice the zucchinis into thin slices.
In a deep bowl, place eggs, flour, oregano, mixed spices, baking powder, salt, and pepper; whisk with a hand whisk until well mixed. Add the saffron-milk mixture and whisk until combined. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Layer in the dish: spread a layer of zucchini slices, add some chopped red and green peppers, pour some egg mixture, and sprinkle some cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a cheese layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the vegetables are cooked and the top is browned. Serve warm.
