Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
Mix eggs and flour, then add milk to make a smooth paste. Fold in chopped garlic and basil. Add salt and pepper.
Slice zucchini and mushrooms thinly. Blanch zucchini in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain. In a frying pan, stir-fry mushrooms quickly in butter. Place zucchini and mushrooms in a gratin dish. Add salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture over zucchini and mushrooms. Top with sliced sharp Canadian Cheddar. Place a few basil leaves on top and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake will rise slightly and the cheese will form a golden crust. Serve warm.
