Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be woody and have a bitter taste.
  • Shred the zucchini evenly: Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade to shred the zucchini. Shred the zucchini into long, thin strips for a more uniform texture.
  • Drain the zucchini well: After shredding the zucchini, place it in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes, then drain it thoroughly. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in this casserole. A good combination is mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. You can also add other cheeses, such as feta, goat cheese, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the zucchini mushy and the cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Cheesy zucchini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its combination of fresh zucchini, creamy cheese, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
