Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, sautéed onion mixture, cheddar, mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream, then pour over the zucchini mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use yellow squash for a mix of color and flavor.
  • Add cooked ground sausage or bacon for a heartier dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
