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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, grated parmesan, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread the sautéed zucchini mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole for a golden, crispy topping.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
