This reminds me of a quiche. It can be served as the entree or as appetizers. It is a great way to use zucchini. I found this recipe printed in our local newspaper that sited the source as "The New Southern Garden Cookbook..."

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c grated zucchini, peeled and seeded if needed ( i leave some peeling on for color)
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp high quality lemon pepper
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dry
1 c finely chopped onion
2 c grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mist the inside of a 7x11 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2. Stir together the zucchini and salt in a colander and let drain 15 minutes. Press out the liquid; let drain another 15 minutes. Pick up small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer to a small bowl.
  • 3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the oil, lemon pepper and thyme. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well.
  • 5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the zucchini, onion and cheese. The batter will be very stiff. Scrape it into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.
  • 6. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • 7. I have reheated the leftovers the next day and it was just as good maybe even better!

CHEESY ZUCCHINI



Cheesy Zucchini image

My daughter despises zucchini, but my husband and I love it, so this is an easy way for us to get our "fix" and it's the perfect amount for the two of us. If I'm baking something else in the oven, I'll just put this in till the meat or whatever is done, then crank up the broiler and top it off in there. And of course, you can use more cheese or anything else you desire.

Tips:

  • To ensure your zucchini squares have a crispy texture, make sure to use fresh zucchini that is firm and not too watery. If your zucchini is watery, squeeze out the excess moisture before using it.
  • Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will help the zucchini to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a generous amount of cheese in your zucchini squares. This will help them to be gooey and flavorful.
  • If you don't have any Italian seasoning on hand, you can use a combination of dried oregano, basil, and thyme.
  • Serve your zucchini squares warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Squares are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
