How to Make Baked Zucchini Cheddar Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred 3 medium zucchini (about 3 cups) and place in a colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Toss zucchini and let drain for at least 15 minutes.
  4. After draining, use your hands to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten. Mix well.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
