Tips:

  • Shredding the Zucchini: Use a box grater or a food processor to shred the zucchini quickly and easily.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: After shredding, use a paper towel or cheesecloth to gently squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini. This helps prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Use Freshly Grated Cheese: For the best flavor and texture, grate your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded.
  • Layer Ingredients Evenly: When assembling the casserole, layer the ingredients evenly to ensure all parts are cooked thoroughly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This indicates that it is cooked through.

Conclusion:
