Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchinis into rounds. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Arrange a layer of zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the zucchini. Repeat with another layer of zucchini and the remaining cheese mixture.
  5. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. Drizzle with olive oil for a golden crust.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Golden Zucchini Cheese Casserole!

Notes

Use fresh, firm zucchinis for best results. Customize the cheese with options like mozzarella or Gruyère. You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can add a burst of freshness.
