How to Make Zucchini Cheddar Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Steam or sauté 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups chopped) in a small amount of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the sour cream mixture.
  8. Layer half of the zucchini in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the sour cream mixture and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon.
  10. Repeat layers with remaining zucchini, sour cream mixture, and cheese.
  11. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  12. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
  13. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
