Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup, crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, grated parmesan, and chopped parsley.
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread the sautéed zucchini mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole for a golden, crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
