A delightful and easy-to-make zucchini casserole, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and chop the onion finely.
Uniform slices help the zucchini cook evenly.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent.
Cooking the onions enhances their sweetness and flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, sautéed onions, salt, pepper, egg, and half of the shredded cheese.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the zucchini slices.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese evenly over the top.
For extra flavor, mix some herbs into the breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the flavors to meld and makes serving easier.
