Keto Cheesy Zucchini Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds. You can also spiralize them for a different texture. If you prefer, you can salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Then, gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Make the creamy mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add in the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese, saving about 1/4 cup of mozzarella to sprinkle on top later.
  4. Combine zucchini with cheese mixture: Add the sliced zucchini into the bowl with the cheesy mixture. Stir gently to coat the zucchini evenly.
  5. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly, golden, and the zucchini is tender.
  7. Garnish and serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
