- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, diced zucchini, red bell pepper, grated carrot, and chopped red onion.
In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lightly beaten eggs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the vegetables and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for later. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish. Enjoy the colorful medley of flavors!
