Zucchini Casserole
I honestly can’t be trusted around this Zucchini Casserole, one small bite leads to 100 small bites. (You’ve been warned!) I thought that Zucchini Soup was my favorite way to enjoy garden zucchini, but this casserole is a fierce competitor! The filling is perfectly seasoned, cheesy, (not the least bit watery), with eggs that act as a binder while also adding protein, and panko breadcrumbs that add the best texture. You really can’t beat this recipe! Be sure to check out my pro tips below!
How to Make It
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Shred the zucchini and transfer to a colander. Sprinkle with salt and top with paper towels while you prepare the remaining casserole ingredients. Squeeze out excess water and transfer the zucchini to a mixing bowl along with sauteed onions, garlic, Parmesan, Panko, heavy cream, eggs, Dijon, and seasonings. Stir to combine.
Transfer the filling to a lightly greased casserole dish and top with cheddar cheese. Cover and bake at 375° F for 30 minutes.
Combine melted butter and panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle it over the casserole. Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Broil at 425° F for 1-2 minutes to brown the top more if preferred. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then serve!
Storage
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days (leftovers are even good cold!) or freeze for up to 3 months. I do enjoy freezing and reheating leftovers. Reheat leftovers in a lightly greased, uncovered casserole dish at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
