Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet.
- Add zucchini, onion, tomato & garlic.

- Bake the casserole until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes around 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
