Zucchini Casserole is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting baked dish made with fresh zucchini and topped with a crispy golden crust. It’s a perfect side dish or light vegetarian main.

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups zucchini (sliced or grated)
  2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  5. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  6. 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  7. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  8. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  9. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  10. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried thyme
  11. 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  12. 1/2 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  1. If using grated zucchini, place it in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture. If sliced, lightly sauté in a pan to reduce water content.
  2. In a large bowl, mix eggs, sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add in zucchini, onion, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with bread crumbs or crushed crackers. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  1. Squeeze out zucchini well to prevent sogginess.
  2. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread crumbs or crackers.
  3. Make ahead and refrigerate overnight before baking.
  4. Try different cheeses for variety—mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss work well.
