A delightful and easy-to-make zucchini casserole with a cheesy and creamy topping, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent bake.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and boil them whole in a large pot of water for about 5 minutes, just until slightly tender.
Avoid overcooking the zucchini to maintain a slight crunch.
Slice the boiled zucchini in half lengthwise and arrange them in a buttered casserole dish in a single layer.
Butter the dish generously to prevent sticking and add flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, paprika, and chives until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the zucchini in the casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese over the top.
Use panko bread crumbs for a crispier topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
Check occasionally to ensure the top doesn't overbrown.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy zucchini bake!
Allowing it to cool slightly helps the flavors settle and makes serving easier.
