I did add a few seasonings after reading some of the other reviews. I didn't peel the zucchini. I sliced it and added some Italian seasoning garlic powder and a bit of dill and let it set over night before sauteing the zucchini and onions. I didn't have enough butter crackers on hand so I used a mixture of the butter crackers and Italian flavored bread crumbs for the topping. I poured melted butter over the crumbs. The really weird thing is that when I first served this my family Loved it. My husband said "well after twenty years you have finally found a way to get me to Like zucchini." Then when I served the left overs the next day they All complained that they didn't like it!!. I ate it both days and thought it was pretty darned good both times. I will be attending a potluck next weekend. I think I just might make this again to see how it's received by others. I have to figure out Something to do with the massive amount of zucchini my garden is yielding right now. Anyway...if I get good responses at the potluck I will happily increase my rating on this recipe.
But as i did with the squash casserole I added bacon in the mixture and the on top I added cheese and bacon with the cracker crumbs. My family liked it and I will make again
I made this casserole for my son's graduation party and everyone that tried it really liked it. It is easy to fix and very tasty.
Very easily made and we loved it.only used 2 medium sized zucchini to make a good sized casserole. Next time I make this recipe I'M going to add a yellow squash to the dish.
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.
I only used 3 med zucchini and I added in diced carrots. I boiled the veggies per recipe. I also added 2 cups of cheese instead of 1 1/2 cups. I baked at 375 degrees for 35 min. Delicious!! I also think the texture and richness would be improved by adding a little sour cream to the mixture.
I did not precook the zucchini at all. I used a (huge) zucchini sliced thinly with a mandarin. Mixed in 1/2 chopped onion which was browned in butter and 4 eggs. Then layered this mixture with 2 cups cheddar making 3 layers. Topped with 30 crushed Ritz crackers. Baked at 350 for 45 minutes and let it sit 15 minutes. It is a soft casserole and does not stand up in layers due to the moisture from the zucchini but it was in no way watery but just right.
It was only 3 of us so I changed the recipe to 4. That required 4 zucchinis which I used some small/medium ones. I used 2 eggs instead of 1 and a 1/4 some cream but less butter. Also I used cheezze its (white cheddar ones) as a crumble. I left it in there until they browned and it was so delicious. Everybody loved it and there was no leftovers.
This is great!! I used three very large zucchini and bread crumbs on top but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Well almost. I used less cheese and combined some leftover mozzarella and cheddar. It was yummy and I like it for breakfast. Why not? It reheats beautifully and makes a great side dish for dinner as well.
