A delightful and easy-to-make zucchini bake with a cheesy topping, perfect for a quick side dish.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler rack is positioned about 6 inches from the heat source for even cooking.
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and dissolve the bouillon cube and salt.
Stir the water well to ensure the bouillon cube fully dissolves for a consistent flavor.
Add the zucchini slices to the boiling water and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
Don't overcook the zucchini; it should retain a slight crunch for the best texture.
Layer half of the zucchini in a pie plate, then sprinkle with half of the cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
Spread the cheese evenly for a consistent cheesy layer.
Repeat the layering with the remaining zucchini and cheeses.
Press down gently to compact the layers slightly for even cooking.
Broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
