CHEESY ZUCCHINI



Cheesy Zucchini image

My daughter despises zucchini, but my husband and I love it, so this is an easy way for us to get our "fix" and it's the perfect amount for the two of us. If I'm baking something else in the oven, I'll just put this in till the meat or whatever is done, then crank up the broiler and top it off in there. And of course, you can use more cheese or anything else you desire.

Provided by HEP MEP

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 -6 medium zucchini, sliced
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or so)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • In a large saucepan, bring water, boullion and salt to a boil.
  • Add zucchini.
  • Cover and boil for 3 to 5 minutes until just tender-crisp; drain well.
  • Arrange half of zucchini in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate; sprinkle with half the cheddar cheese and half the parmesan.
  • Layer the remaining zucchini and cheeses.
  • Broil for 1 or 2 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini. This will help to prevent the zucchini from shredding and will also make it easier to slice the zucchini evenly.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will create long, thin strands of zucchini that will cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients. This will make it easier to stir the ingredients together and ensure that they are evenly combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the casserole to become tough.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.
  • Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the casserole to set and will make it easier to cut into squares.

Conclusion:

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. The casserole is made with zucchini, onions, garlic, cheese, and eggs, and it is baked until golden brown and cheesy. The casserole can be served warm or cold, and it is also a great option for freezing. If you are looking for a simple and delicious zucchini recipe, Easy Cheesy Zucchini Squares are the perfect dish for you.
