Zucchini Bake
Ingredients
3 lb. zucchini
1/3 cup butter
1 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (more if mixture is soggy)
1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil
or 1 Tbsp. dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
additional grated parmesan
Directions
Trimmed and cut zucchini into 1-inch pieces and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a large bowl and mash coarsely with a
fork.
Spoon zucchini into a sieve and drain well,
pressing down to release excess water.
Place the drained zucchini in a large bowl.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic, saute until light brown.
Add the onion mixture to the zucchini.
Add the eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil and bread crumbs, stirring to blend well.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to the greased 8-inch square baking pan and bake in 375 deg. oven until firm in the center and brown on top, about 45 min.
Cut into squares and serve with extra parmesan.
