Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups sliced zucchini
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until soft.
  • Add sliced zucchini to the skillet, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until just tender.

  • Layer half of the zucchini mixture in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the breadcrumbs.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini.
  • Top with remaining zucchini, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
  • Feel free to add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for more flavor.
  • To make it vegetarian-friendly, ensure your cheese is free of animal rennet.
