Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and thinly slice the zucchini into round discs, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 3-5 minutes until just slightly softened. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the sautéed zucchini to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly into the dish.
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the zucchini.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
