Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium, or vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded sharp
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place the zucchini slices in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Let them drain for 20 minutes, then blot dry with paper towel.
- In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, until the flour is golden.
- Gradually add the broth and milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted. Stir in the zucchini slices until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden-brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
