Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups zucchini sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of salt lightly over the zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

  • Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. If needed, broil at the end of cooking to give it a deeper golden color.
