Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan, and sauté the zucchini. Stir frequently, while cooking, seasoning the zucchini with salt and pepper as you move them around the skillet.
- As the vegetables cook, make the cheese sauce by adding the cream cheese, heavy cream and water to a medium saucepan. Cook over a low heat until the cheese has melted. Add the shredded cheddar, a quarter cup at a time, stirring until it has melted before adding more.
- Drain the zucchini of any excess liquid, then pour the cheese sauce over the zucchini, then finish with the grated Parmesan.
- Roast until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Grind some black pepper over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Choose fresh, firm zucchini, and use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
- Season the zucchini slices: Before cooking, season the zucchini slices with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help them develop flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may make them soggy.
- Cook the zucchini until tender: Zucchini should be cooked until tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a flavorful cheese sauce: The cheese sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a cheese sauce that is flavorful and creamy. You can make your own cheese sauce or use a store-bought one.
- Top with breadcrumbs: Before baking, top the zucchini with breadcrumbs. This will give the dish a nice crunchy crust.
Conclusion:
Low-carb scalloped zucchini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy cheese sauce, flavorful zucchini, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
