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:
- When choosing zucchini, select ones that are small to medium in size and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are large, have blemishes, or are yellow in color.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. This will help to release the moisture from the zucchini and make it easier to cook.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini in a cheesecloth or tea towel to remove excess moisture. This will help to prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.
- Use a combination of shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese for a flavorful casserole. You can also add other cheeses, such as mozzarella or Gruyère, to your liking.
- If you are using frozen zucchini, thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole. This will help to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
- Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
