Zucchini Casserole

September 12, 2011  •  Vegetables

It’s a never ending quest to use up zucchini around here – I’m sure those of you with gardens can relate. And I might have mentioned before, zucchini is one of those vegetables I just don’t like that much plain. But add a little cheese to anything, and I’m on it!I didn’t cook my zucchini first in this recipe, which made the overall casserole a bit wetter and looser. If you want the eggs to bind better – more like a quiche or a strata – then cook the zucchini first to cook off some of their water. Either way, it’s an easy casserole, it uses up zucchini, it’s a great vegetarian alternative for an entree, and it freezes well.

    I haven’t yet had my fill of fresh zucchini…not having it in a garden out back sure makes a difference. But I do love different versions and this sounds simple and tasty. I’ve got a zucchini, cream cheese and garlic casserole on my site you might like too. No where near as light and healthy…but it’s sure good!
