Easy Zucchini Casserole is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting dish made with fresh zucchini, savory seasonings, and a golden breadcrumb topping. It’s a perfect side or light main course, especially during summer zucchini season.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced or grated
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: fresh herbs (parsley or basil), paprika, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil or butter. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. If using sliced zucchini, add it to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes until just tender. If using grated zucchini, squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream (or yogurt), salt, pepper, and half of the cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Add the cooked zucchini mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and finish with an even layer of breadcrumbs.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Be sure to squeeze grated zucchini to remove excess moisture and prevent a watery casserole.This recipe is naturally vegetarian—check cheese and breadcrumb labels to confirm.Make ahead by assembling the casserole and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking.Use any cheese variety you like—mozzarella, feta, or Monterey Jack are great alternatives.To double the recipe, use a 9×13-inch baking dish and increase bake time to 35–40 minutes.
