Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 cups (shredded) sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated.
Spread half of the seasoned zucchini slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the zucchini layer, followed by a light sprinkle of 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese.
Pour the remaining zucchini slices on top of the cheese layer, spreading them evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the zucchini layers in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese on top of the zucchini.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the breadcrumbs. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top layer of the cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheddar Zucchini Supreme!
