ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Zucchini is easily overlooked, but with the addition of melty cheese and a crunchy cornflake topping, you can transform this summer vegetable into a perfect casserole for a barbeque or potluck. Switch out the herbs with what you have on hand--chives, thyme, basil and cilantro would all work well and add great flavor!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
8 ounces shredded Cheddar (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups cornflakes
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a large colander inside a large bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one-third of the zucchini to the skillet, arrange in a single later and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the zucchini begins to soften and is golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared colander. Repeat to cook remaining zucchini in 2 more batches, using 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkling with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper for each batch. Transfer each batch to the colander.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet along with the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Let cool for 5 minutes, then fold into the zucchini. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the Cheddar, parsley and Italian seasoning. Pour over the zucchini mixture, making sure that some of the egg mixture sinks down to the bottom.
  • Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium bowl until melted. Fold in the cornflakes and hot sauce. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake until the eggs are set and the cornflakes are deeply golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 zucchini, 1/4-inch slices
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil, minced
3/4 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup chicken stuffing mix
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In large skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook zucchini until tender. Drain & set aside.
  • In same skillet, saute onion and garlic for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Gently stir in zucchini. Place in ungreased baking dish. Top with stuffing mix. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover and sprinkle with grated mozzarella or jack cheese. Return to oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini: Choose small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid large zucchini as they tend to have larger seeds and tougher skin.
  • Don't peel the zucchini: The skin of the zucchini is a good source of fiber and nutrients, so leave it on for added flavor and texture.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps it release its moisture and cook evenly. If you don't have a grater, you can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture: After grating the zucchini, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out the excess moisture. This will help prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, adds flavor and texture to the casserole.
  • Add some protein: To make the casserole more filling, add some cooked ground beef, sausage, or chicken.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: Zucchini casserole is best when it is slightly undercooked. Overcooking can make the zucchini mushy and the casserole dry.
