Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole image

This Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole is an easy side dish recipe that pairs beautifully with just about any family meal!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups grated zucchini ((I used about 3.5 medium zucchinis))
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely minced or grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus an additional 2 tablespoons
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 1 ½-quart baking dish; set aside.
  • Place zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow to sit for about 10 minutes (this will help draw out some of the water from the zucchini). After 10 minutes, squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini. TIP: In order to make sure that you get most of the water out of the zucchini (and avoid a runny casserole), wrap the zucchini in a dish towel. Squeeze it and wring it out multiple times while it's in the towel -- you will be shocked by how much liquid comes out!
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini, onion, garlic, eggs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Gently press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, pour melted butter over breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Stir until completely combined.
  • After 20 minutes, remove zucchini from the oven. Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over the zucchini and return the dish to the oven. Continue baking for about 5-10 more minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini will have a better flavor and texture than zucchini that has been sitting around for a while. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini will help it to cook evenly and will also make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese for a classic flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy and the cheese tough.
  • Serve immediately: The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.

Conclusion:

Alice's Zucchini Cheese Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with fresh zucchini, cheese, and eggs, and can be served with a variety of side dishes.
