Savoury zucchini feta & mint cake

The feta cheese and the Greek yogurt bring a nice fresh touch to this delicious zucchini bread recipe. This one is from my friend Marina. I am a fan of her cooking always healthy, inspiring, and so savoury.

Good to know!

Marina likes to add a handful of pine nuts sometimes. It’s worth trying too! As for myself, I like to use 200g feta cheese with 2 TBS Provence herbs, a lot of mixed ground pepper, and a very large handful of mint leaves.

  • Dear Chantal,
    Please can you tell me how much Greek yaourt I need for this receipe? And do you use instant yeast,? Seven grams?

    We have met each other with Yolande and my nieces. And I have warm memories of our workshop.

    With kind regards,
    Charlotte Eijmael

    • Hello Charlotte, happy new year and thank you for your message. You need between 100 and 150g of greek yogurt. For the instant yeast it’s 7g. You’ll find it under the names levure sèche, effe getrocknet, lievito secco or baking powder depending of the countries.
