Zucchini Bake

Summertime means lots of fresh vegetables! We love them roasted, raw, sautéed and baked into yummy dishes. I happen to love zucchini so of course I pulled this recipe out as one to make. This one was actually a hit with all 4 of us! It's got a cup of cheese in it, how could it be bad?  :)

I did squeeze out some of the juice after grating the zucchini so it wouldn't be so wet. I used about 40 regular saltine crackers that I put into a baggie and crushed and rolled into crumbs with my rolling pin. I also went old school and rubbed some unsalted butter all over the baking dish. Maybe that's why it was so good, all that butter melting into the outsides of the dish. I baked it uncovered too. 

I have to say, I thought it was yummy cold as a leftover too!

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Zucchini Bake

3 cups grated zucchini

1 cup cracker crumbs

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

2 tbs. chopped onion

2 beaten eggs

Mix together and place in buttered casserole. Bake 1 hr in 350 degree oven.

* I used about 2 medium sized zucchini to get 3 cups of it grated.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
