Description
A cozy, comforting casserole made with shredded zucchini, melty cheese, and a touch of garlic—perfect as a side or main dish that’s budget-friendly, easy to prep, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- Zucchini: 4 cups shredded (about 2 large)
- Eggs: 3 large
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 ½ cups shredded
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup grated
- All-Purpose Flour: ½ cup
- Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix shredded zucchini with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Add eggs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, onion, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil to the zucchini. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Optional: Sprinkle extra cheese or breadcrumbs on top for added texture.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and texture.
- Broil the top for the last 2 minutes for a crispier crust.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley before baking for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
