BAKED ZUCCHINI WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE

Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 whole egg
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Place the sliced zucchini into a large bowl.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients and toss well.
  • Pour into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole.
  • Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and seedy.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the zucchini slices enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will steam instead of roast and will not be as flavorful.
  • Roast the zucchini until it is tender. The zucchini should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still hold its shape. If you overcook the zucchini, it will become mushy.
  • Season the zucchini with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Top the zucchini with cheese. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Parmesan, mozzarella, or any other type of cheese that you like.
  • Bake the zucchini until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 5-10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked zucchini with cheddar cheese is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a healthy and nutritious way to enjoy zucchini. The zucchini is roasted until it is tender and flavorful, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
