A delicious and comforting zucchini casserole featuring sautéed zucchini and onions combined with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, baked to golden perfection with a crispy breadcrumb topping. This easy-to-make dish is perfect as a side or a light main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 sweet onion, finely chopped

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped sweet onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, to bring out its sweetness.
  3. Add Zucchini and Garlic: Add the sliced zucchinis and sprinkle garlic powder over them. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened but still retains some texture.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs with salt and pepper to taste. This mixture will help bind the casserole ingredients.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed zucchini and onion into a large bowl. Add the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses along with the egg mixture. Gently mix everything to combine without breaking down the veggies too much.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs on top to create a crispy crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme or basil to the mixture before baking.
  • You can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs if you need a gluten-free version.
  • Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or grilled chicken for a complete meal.
