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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the egg mixture, then gently fold in the sliced zucchini until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Zucchini Casserole Bake!
