Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

This casserole recipe came from my friend, Beth, who always has the best recipes. She is great at cooking for a lot of people, and when I am in need of something good, she is the one I call.
I took a few things about the recipe and changed them. So, it’s a versatile recipe. You can add cheddar instead of mozzarella, or forgo the breadcrumbs.
But, no matter how you make the casserole, it will turn out delicious and it’s holiday-worthy, for sure.

Step-By-Step Instructions For Zucchini Casserole with Panko

Start by slicing the zucchini and line the pieces in a greased 8″ x 8″ casserole baking dish.

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the zucchini and set aside.

Add the heavy cream and minced garlic to a saucepan on medium heat.

Next, add the brie cheese, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper.
I cut the top and side off of the brie and scraped into the saucepan so I didn’t have any rind in there.
Rind won’t hurt you, but I don’t like the flavor as much, so I didn’t add it in.

Pour the heavy cream mixture into the dish.

Top with the remainder of the mozzarella cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese.

Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 20 minutes at 400-degrees. After 20 minutes, remove the tin foil and bake for 10 more minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Great recipe, great combo of flavors. If you want to use up leftover ham, add the same amount of chopped ham as zucchini, double the sauce & use a larger casserole dish. You probably will have to bake a bit longer (10-15 mins more) due to more volume.
