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 breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 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 cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Arrange a layer of zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish. Spread a portion of the cheese mixture over the zucchini. Repeat the layers until all the zucchini and cheese mixture are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
  5. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top layer of cheese.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheesy zucchini bake!

Notes

Salting and draining the zucchini helps remove excess moisture, ensuring your bake isn't watery. Customize the cheese or add crushed crackers for extra texture. You can assemble this dish ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
