This delightful zucchini bake combines creamy cheese with a crispy topping for a dish that's both comforting and satisfying.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Slice the zucchini into rounds and cook them in a saucepan with a small amount of boiling water until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain well.
Avoid overcooking the zucchini to maintain a slight firmness.
In a separate saucepan, combine the cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stirring constantly prevents the cheese sauce from separating.
Arrange the cooked zucchini in a greased casserole dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the zucchini.
Ensure the zucchini is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
For extra flavor, mix in a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent over-browning.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
Fresh parsley or basil makes a great garnish for added color and flavor.
