Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Fold the sliced zucchini into the egg mixture, ensuring the zucchini is evenly coated.

Step 6

Add the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the bowl, and give everything a gentle stir to combine evenly.

Step 7

Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top for added moisture and browning.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is set in the center.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
