Zucchini Casserole Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by cooking zucchini with onion powder in butter until tender yet retaining some firmness. After cooling, the zucchini is combined with shredded cheeses, eggs, salt, and pepper to create a creamy, flavorful filling. This mixture is spread in a greased baking dish.
Crushed Rice Chex cereal coated with melted butter is sprinkled evenly over the casserole to provide a crunchy contrast to the soft interior after baking. The casserole is baked at 350°F uncovered for about 25–30 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling set.
After baking, the casserole is rested to firm slightly before serving. This dish pairs well as a side for poultry or pork or can be enjoyed on its own for a vegetable-rich meal.
