TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH CRISP CHEDDAR TOPPING
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.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl, mix all crust ingredients, until crumbly. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place 1/2 the crumb mixture into dish and pat down evenly. Bake for 10 minutes.
- 2. Cool on rack. Make filling. In a large saucepan, place zucchini, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until tender. ( I slice my zucchini thin, so the cooking only take about 8 - 10 minutes, you don't want the filling mushy.)
- 3. Once zucchini is tender add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of topping to thicken. Cook another minute or two, until thickened.
- 4. Remove from heat and spread on the crust.
- 5. Sprinkle the top with the remainder of crumb mixture. Place back in oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until topping begins to brown and filling is bubbly.
- 6. Can serve warm with ice cream if desired. Delicious!
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Zucchini: Select firm and young zucchini with vibrant green color and no blemishes. Smaller zucchinis tend to have a milder flavor and fewer seeds.
- Shredding the Zucchini: Use a box grater with the large holes to shred the zucchini. Alternatively, you can use a food processor fitted with a grating disc.
- Squeezing Out Excess Moisture: After shredding, place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Then, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to gently squeeze out the excess moisture. This step helps prevent the crisp from becoming too watery.
- Measuring the Flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. Alternatively, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Mixing the Batter: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough crisp. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Baking the Crisp: Bake the crisp in a preheated oven at the specified temperature. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking. The crisp is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Zucchini crisp is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its crispy topping and tender, flavorful zucchini filling, this dish is a surefire hit.
