Instructions

Utilize a standard grater to shred the zucchini. Measure two cups, put them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and use your hands to mix. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
Squeeze out the extra liquid from the zucchini with your hands and place it into a separate bowl. Put it aside.
Heat your oven to 180°C / 350°F, suitable for any oven.
Grease and line a loaf pan.
Combine the dry components in a bowl and whisk until mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet components.
Create a well in the middle of the dry mixture. Pour the wet mixture into it. Stir swiftly until the flour is just combined.
Quickly fold in the zucchini.
Spread one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Lay 4 slices of cheese on top.
Cover with more batter, add another 4 slices of cheese, and then finish with the rest of the batter. Smooth out the top.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
If desired, brush the top with a little melted butter.
Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a rack to cool further. Wait at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Keep in a container, especially in humid conditions.

Notes

Squeeze out excess liquid from grated zucchini to avoid a soggy loaf.
Opt for Swiss cheese for a creamy, nutty flavor that complements zucchini.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to maintain its shape and texture.
