Directions

Preheat the oven to 390°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze to remove all liquids. Don’t skip that step, it’s important to remove as many liquids as possible to get the perfect texture and a dough that holds.
Whisk the eggs and mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.
In a large mixing bowl mix the grated zucchini with the eggs, onion, garlic, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Kneed for a couple of minutes and shape into balls. If the dough is too sticky add some more breadcrumbs.
Place on the lined baking pan and drizzle with the oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes flipping the pan half way through to cook evenly.
In the meantime make the herbed olive oil mayo:
Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, water and mustard in a nutri -bullet or blender container. Add the olive oil, then let it rest for 2 minutes.
Process until the mayo starts to thicken.
Fold in the herbs and garlic and season with salt.
Serve the zucchini balls warm with the mayo.
