Zucchini-Feta Casserole image

My local gourmet grocery store use to sell single servings of this, but they quit selling it. I was addicted to it, so one of the employees emailed me the recipe so I could do it myself. A great vegetarian dish or side dish.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

¾ cup bulgur
¾ cup boiling water
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups sliced onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups thickly sliced zucchini
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 cup grated feta cheese
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon tamari
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Place bulgur in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and set aside until water is absorbed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until just translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini, oregano, basil, marjoram, and black pepper. Cook until zucchini is tender but not falling apart, about 5 minutes more.
  • Beat eggs lightly in a bowl. Add feta cheese and cottage cheese.
  • Add parsley, tomato paste, and tamari to the bowl with the bulgur and mix well.
  • Layer bulgur mixture, zucchini mixture, cheese mixture, Cheddar cheese, and tomato into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 45 minutes.

This dish was a bit too complicated for my taste. I think I would prefer a simpler zucchini recipe.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less feta cheese next time.

The casserole was good, but I found it to be a bit dry. I think adding a little bit of milk or cream would help.

This casserole was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and herbs next time.
