Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups grated Cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 5 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • ¾ cup fine bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9×9-inch pan.
  • Mix Cheese and Herbs: In a large bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Layer Vegetables and Cheese: Arrange half of the zucchini slices in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with a quarter of the cheese mixture. Arrange half of the tomato slices on top and sprinkle with another quarter of the cheese mixture. Repeat with remaining zucchini, tomato, and cheese mixture.
  • Prepare Breadcrumb Topping: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in breadcrumbs and cook until golden brown.
  • Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture on top of the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes until the top is golden and vegetables are tender.
  • Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste. You can also add more herbs or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick.
  • You can substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed crackers for a different texture.
