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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the zucchini into round discs, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Add the sautéed zucchini to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly into the dish.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the zucchini.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
