CHEESY ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a square 2-quart baking dish with olive oil spray.
• Slice the unpeeled zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle them with salt. Place them in a colander and allow them to drain at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step helps prevent a watery casserole.
• Transfer the drained zucchini to a large bowl. Add the marinara sauce, black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, and 1 cup mozzarella. Mix everything together.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle it with the remaining mozzarella and with the Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving it. Like all casseroles, it tastes best when warm or at room temperature.

• 2. Stir together the zucchini and salt in a colander and let drain 15 minutes. Press out the liquid; let drain another 15 minutes. Pick up small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer to a small bowl.
• 3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
• 4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the oil, lemon pepper and thyme. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well.
• 5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the zucchini, onion and cheese. The batter will be very stiff. Scrape it into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.

• 7. I have reheated the leftovers the next day and it was just as good maybe even better!

MUSHROOM-STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Cut the stem end off the zucchinis and slice them in half lengthwise. With a table spoon, scoop out just the pulpy center that contains the seeds, and put the zucchini cut-side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes, until just slightly softened.
• While the zucchini are cooking, in a saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the liquid cooks off, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the mixture with garlic powder, stir in the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Remove the zucchini from the oven and turn them over on the sheet pan so they are cut side up. Divide the mushroom mixture between each zucchini, spooning it into the carved-out channel where the seeds were removed. Return the zucchini to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the oven, sprinkle each boat with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven or to the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted, 5 minutes or less.

• 4. Add all remaining ingredients, except for the Parmesan cheese. Mix all until well combined and pour into prepared baking dish.
• 5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until pick comes out clean in the center of the bars.
• 6. Leave cool a few minutes, then cut into squares. As I said, these can be eaten warm or room temperature. With or without a sauce. I usually serve with sour cream. Enjoy!
