How to Make Creamy Zucchini Casserole
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add zucchini slices and cook for about 5–7 minutes until just tender. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs if using.
Step 3: Layer and Pour
Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the baking dish. Pour the cream evenly over the veggies. Sprinkle mozzarella (or cheddar) and Parmesan cheese over the top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this zucchini casserole hot with:
- A crisp green salad for a light meal
- Crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce
- Grilled meats or fish for a complete dinner
It also reheats beautifully, making it a great make-ahead option for busy weeknights.
