Zucchini Tomato Bake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 5 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary ingredients before proceeding.
2
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
3
Apply a thin layer of butter to the bottom and sides of a 9x9-inch baking dish.
4
In a large mixing container, combine the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese with minced garlic, dried oregano, and chopped basil.
5
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste; set the mixture aside for later use.
6
Place half of the sliced zucchinis in the prepared baking dish.
7
Sprinkle one-quarter of the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the zucchinis.
8
Arrange half of the sliced tomatoes on top, followed by another one-quarter of the cheese mixture.
9
Repeat this layering process to create a stacked effect.
10
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
11
Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
12
Stir in some bread crumbs to the skillet mixture; cook until the bread has absorbed most of the butter.
13
Sprinkle the cooked onion and bread mixture evenly over the top layer of your casserole.
14
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
15
Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
16
Serve your finished casserole warm and enjoy!
