Turkish Zucchini Squares

This was inspired by an old Turkish Cooking book I picked up at Half-Price Books 10 yrs. ago. They're good at room temperature and reheat well.

Turkish Zucchini Squares

2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs
handful of chopped mint
handful of chopped parsley
1 cup grated swiss or muenster cheese
1/2 cup feta
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
dash cayenne or hot sauce(optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grate zucchini - 2 large or 4 small in a large bowl
Add eggs, mint, parsley, cheeses. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well.
If mixture seems too thin, add a little more flour.
Add salt and pepper - start with 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp. of pepper. (remember the cheeses have a lot of salt.) Add cayenne if using.
Spray a square 9 by 9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Pour mixture into the pan and spread evenly.
Bake 45 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.
Cook into squares to serve warm or at room temperature.
