Zucchini Casserole

Zuke casserole

This one is a simple recipe post only – sorry, my summer seems more hectic than I ever anticipated! And I have had precious little time to blog let alone blog hop, as I would have loved to – please do not mistake my absences on your blogs – I am now waiting for school to start so that my routine gets more… Routine!

Zucchini continue to flourish in my garden and I have to keep coming up with more new recipes to keep the veggie and the recipe interesting … this is an off the cuff recipe, put together with home grown zukes, chilies, tomatoes and herbs – with the exception of the goat cheese, cheddar and mozzarella J
Zucchini

yellow Tomatoes

Spices




Here is the recipe

Set oven to 350
Grease a pan with olive oil/spray
Slice the zucchinis and tomatoes (I used my yellow tomatoes – more on this when I post my super deadly pasta sauce)
Break up the goat cheese (you can sub with feta or ricotta if you cannot find goat cheese)
I used oregano & basil, garlic and onion chives
Cut up the chilies and chop up the herbs
Layer the pan like this (look at pictures)
1 layer of zucchini
Top with goat cheese
Top with herbs and chilies
Now layer with tomatoes
Then goat cheese & herbs and chilies
Third and last layer of zucchini
Top this layer with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses
Bake for 30 minutes
Serve hot
A wonderful healthy meal (well, except for the cheese which you can cut back per your taste)
