Description
A deliciously easy dish made with shredded zucchini and a blend of cheeses, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In another bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, milk, black pepper, oregano, and basil until well combined.
- Add the squeezed zucchini to the cheese mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked ground turkey or sausage to the zucchini mixture.
- You can substitute the zucchini with shredded yellow squash or a mix of both for a colorful dish.
