A delightful and easy-to-make zucchini casserole with a cheesy and savory flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini for a firmer bake.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even cooking.
Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs evenly over the top of the mixture.
For extra crunch, use panko bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheesy zucchini bake!
Letting it rest helps the flavors meld together.
