Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 8-inch square baking dish. Steam zucchini until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and mash coarsely with fork. Spoon zucchini into sieve and drain well, pressing to release excess water. Place drained zucchini in bowl.
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until light brown, about 10 minutes. Add onion mixture to zucchini in bowl. Add eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, breadcrumbs and basil; stir to blend well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Bake until firm in center and brown on top, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares and serve, passing additional Parmesan separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Select firm and young zucchini with a diameter of about 2 inches. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has blemishes.
- Grate the zucchini correctly: Use a box grater with large holes to grate the zucchini. Avoid grating the zucchini too finely, as this will release too much moisture.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a colander lined with cheesecloth or paper towels. Squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent the zucchini squares from becoming too watery.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the zucchini squares. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or mozzarella.
- Don't overcook the zucchini squares: The zucchini squares should be cooked until they are just set and golden brown. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Zucchini cheese appetizer squares are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and tasty meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
