Made some significant changes which turned this recipe into a keeper. NINE zucchini??? I used two medium zucchini. Do not peel them (that's where all the nutrition and color are) but just slice. Use 1/4 cup butter instead of 1/2 cup and stir-fry the veggies in the butter rather than boil them (again to retain flavor color and nutrition). Four eggs instead of three. Rather than the cracker topping I used my own whole wheat bread crumbs with a bit of Italian seasoning added to them. Delicious! Oh yes...only bake 35 minutes. Left-overs are fabulous. I think this would also work well if you wanted to make double and freeze one to bake at a future time.

I changed this up a little as well. You can't possibly use 9 zucchinis unless they are small 'pickle' sized zucchinis. We used 4 medium to large ones and instead of slicing I diced to about 1/2 thick. I used 4 eggs instead of 3 added 2 tablespoons of milk to the beaten eggs and used a half of a cup more cheese. I crushed the crackers and used a little bit less than 1/4 cup of melted butter to give them a good crumbly texture. Added some Mrs. Dash to the mixture and baked as per the recipe. Served with a wedge of iceberg lettuce with light ranch dressing drizzled on top (and tomatoes if desired). Was a hit with my family! Even my picky daughter!!

I altered this recipe a bit. I used boxed chicken flavored stuffing mix (the kind with the flavoring already in the bread crumbs) and used about 3/4 stick of butter to drizzle over the stuffing mix. I added garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I used 3 cups of zucchini and added black pepper (to taste) It's very yummy and my 7 year old even cleaned his plate. Nice variation to the ordinary.

This was awesome! I made a few mods as others did- I only used one very large zucchini (there are just two of us) and I steamed the veggies instead of boiling. I used 2 eggs and added about 3 tablespoons of cream but only about 1 tablespoon of butter. I only had saltines so I crushed those up and added shredded Parmesan to them- made a delicious crispy cheesy topping! Will definitely make again- thanks!

I really loved this!! Ok i am a born fiddler so we did some different things 4 eggs not 3 a few red pepper flakes and a bit of broccoli i had left over and some diced ham.. you know a cleaning out the fridge thing.. It was a HUGE hit! I also used bread crumbs on top not crackers - you use what you have on hand.. but this will appear again and again!

ok I'm not sure how the recipe would have been as it is written but I read the other reviews and sauted the zucchini first added in some frozen corn and a layer of sliced fresh tomatoes and then sprinkled the whole thing with extra chopped garlic red pepper flakes and parm cheese.... and it is absolutely delish! I only needed to bake it for 45 minutes too.

I have made this two times and always get compliments for it. I add Emeril's Essence (individual packets about 1 1/2 packets worth) to the recipe to give more flavor. Very easy to fix. I agree about the zucchini size...they need to be small to medium-size zucchini.

I used 3 medium zucchini and followed the suggestions of prior reviewers adding a 4th egg panko crumbs and a little extra cheese. I don't know if I did something wrong because it came out sort of a congealed mess. I would not serve this again.
