2 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or parmesan)
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Fine herbs to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease or line a muffin tin.
- Combine grated zucchini, potato, and carrot in a bowl and mix evenly.
- Add eggs and vegetable oil to the vegetable mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in shredded cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and optional herbs until a thick batter forms.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until muffins are golden and firm to the touch.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, warm in oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 5–7 minutes.

- Try variations like adding spinach, using sweet potato, or switching cheese types.
- For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter after adding flour.
