delicious use of leftovers for risotto

Mix the risotto from the previous day with an egg. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Butter a baking pan. Cover the bottom with a layer of zucchini strips, season with pepper, salt, and herbs de Provence. Then add a layer of risotto. Add more zucchini strips for the next layer, season, and arrange a few slices of blue cheese on top. Add the next layer of risotto and cover with a layer of zucchini. Season, top with a few halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. Tip: The rice quantities vary, as does the type of risotto. In this case, it was an asparagus and wild garlic risotto with cherry tomatoes.
