GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE



Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole image

This Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole is an easy side dish recipe that pairs beautifully with just about any family meal!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups grated zucchini ((I used about 3.5 medium zucchinis))
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely minced or grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus an additional 2 tablespoons
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

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:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized, firm zucchini that are deep green in color. 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 careful to use a guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini and onions, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality mozzarella cheese: Fresh, high-quality mozzarella cheese will melt beautifully and give the dish a delicious flavor. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, as it is often coated with preservatives that can prevent it from melting properly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, right out of the oven. The zucchini and onions will be crisp-tender and the mozzarella cheese will be gooey and melted.

Conclusion:

Zucchini with onions and mozzarella cheese is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your zucchini cooked soft or still slightly crunchy, with a little garlic or a sprinkle of herbs, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
