Description
A delicious and easy-to-make zucchini casserole that combines fresh vegetables, cheese, and breadcrumbs for a delightful dish.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced zucchini and corn to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up for easier slicing.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding ½ cup of cream cheese to the egg mixture before combining with the vegetables.
- To customize, try adding cooked ground turkey or sausage for added protein, or mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
