TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH CRISP CHEDDAR TOPPING



Tomato and Zucchini Casserole With Crisp Cheddar Topping image

This casserole is a modern twist on an old favorite, the tomato-zucchini bake. But instead of a Parmesan and bread-crumb topping, this one is covered in a savory oat and Cheddar crumble that crisps and browns in the oven. Dollops of garlicky, herbed ricotta make the casserole wonderfully rich and creamy, while olives liven it up with their salty tang. This is equally good warm or at room temperature, preferably served within four hours of baking so the topping stays crunchy. Or you could make it the night before and reheat it in a 375-degree oven until bubbling. It makes an excellent side dish or meatless main course.

Pinch cayenne pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9- by 13-inch casserole dish or 2-quart gratin dish.
