SCALLOPED ZUCCHINI



Scalloped Zucchini image

I'm trying to get rid of my many cookbooks, but I want to keep a few recipes from each that sound interesting but never got around to making! This one was called Better Homes and Gardens All Time Favorite Casseroles. Published in 1977

Provided by Carolyn Haas

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium zucchini or summer squash (2 pounds)
1/4 lb bulk pork sausage
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c finely crushed saltine crackers (14 crackers)
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8 tsp dried thyme, crushed (or 1 teaspoon fresh -minced)

Steps:

  • 1. Scrub squash, cut off ends. Do not peel. Cook, covered in boiling salted water till tender - about 15 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Chop zucchini
  • 2. Cook sausage and onion till sausage is browned, drain off fat. RESERVE 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Add remaining Parmesan, squash, reserved liquid, crackers, eggs, salt ant thyme to sausage, mix well.
  • 3. Turn into 1 1/2 quart casserole, sprinkle top with reserved cheese. Bake, uncovered at 350ºF till set, 40-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm zucchini: Look for zucchini that is deep green in color, free of blemishes, and feels heavy for its size.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help ensure that the zucchini cooks evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the zucchini evenly and prevent it from tearing.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that you enjoy.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as basil or oregano, for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Scalloped zucchini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. The zucchini is tender and flavorful, and the cheese sauce is creamy and cheesy. This dish is a great way to use up fresh zucchini and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
