KETO ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 1.5-liter square glass or ceramic baking dish with butter. Set aside.
• Slice the zucchinis into 1/4 inch thick (0.6 cm), place on a large bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt all over the slices and toss with your hands to bring the salt in contact with all slices. Set aside 20 minutes. This step will extract the zucchini water and prevent a watery casserole, don't skip!
• Drain the zucchini slices, then lay the slices onto absorbent paper and pat dry with more absorbent paper to remove as much excess water as you can.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and fry onions until fragrant and soft. Stir in garlic, pour heavy cream, sour cream, and keep cooking until it forms bubbles on the sides.
• Stir in half of the grated parmesan and half of the grated mozzarella and stir until the cheese is fully melted and it forms a cheesy sauce.
• Lay the zucchini slices in a row into the square baking dish. See the picture in my post or watch the video to see how to make this.
• Pour the cheese sauce and top of the zucchini and spread evenly to cover all the zucchini slices. Sprinkle the rest of the parmesan and mozzarella cheese all over the zucchini slices.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is broiled on top, the sauce bubbles in the pan, and zucchini are tender. Don't overbake, or the zucchini will become mushy.

ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the zucchini and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch round or 8-inch square ceramic baking dish. Spread the zucchini in the pan and dot with pieces of butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in the onions, salt, and pepper, and half of the cheddar cheese. Pour over the zucchini.
• Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar, the parmesan, and the pork rinds. Bake 35 minutes, until bubbly and the edges are nicely browned. Sprinkle with chopped basil, if desired.

KETO CHEESY CHICKEN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Slice zucchini about a 1/4 inch thick length wise or on the diagonal. Grill zucchini until they are well scored on each size (you need to cook out most of the water so that you do not have a watery casserole). Set aside or do a day ahead and refrigerate. You'll need enough zucchini to make two layers (faux noodles) in your dish.
• Boil chicken breast in salted water until done. You can reserved the broth from the chicken breast to use in other recipes, and it freezes well. Shred chicken and set aside.
• Make the white sauce (The "Low Carb White Sauce" was adapted from the "Step Away From the Carbs" website.). In a large saucepan cook onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute or two. Add cream cheese, heavy cream and water (or use some of the chicken broth) to the saucepan. Heat over a low heat until the cream cheese has melted. Place an egg yolk into a small bowl and temper it by adding a small spoonful of the cream mixture into the bowl and mixing well. Then add the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan. Keep cooking for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, oregano and shredded chicken and cook on low for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• In a food processor combine room temperature cream cheese, cottage cheese, egg and parmesan and blend until well combined. Set aside.
• Coat a 9" by 13" pan with olive oil. Cover the bottom of the pan with one layer of zucchini. Add a layer of the cream and chicken mixture. Top with half of the cottage cheese mixture and half of the mozzarella. Repeat the zucchini chicken cheese layers with the remaining ingredients. Back at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Let cook for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
