Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (sliced) zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (diced) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (melted) butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the egg mixture, then gently fold in the sliced zucchini until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. You should see bubbles around the edges when it’s ready.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Zucchini Casserole Bake!
