Zucchini Bake



This recipe is SO simple and SO yummy, we cut it out of the paper, but here is the website it can be found at. Click HERE.

**Note, I used saltines without salted tops and it tasted much better than when I used regular saltines.

Ingredients
4 small zucchini, diced (about 3 cups total) 2 cups (about 5 1/2 ounces) club cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons butter 3 eggs 1 small onion, grated ½ cup 2% reduced fat milk 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/2 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan or 9-inch-square baking dish. 2. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add zucchini; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well in a colander. 3. Press cracker crumbs on bottom of prepared pan to form a crust. Dot with butter. Spoon zucchini on top. 4. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until fluffy. Stir in onion, milk, 2/3 cup Cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Pour over zucchini and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Cheddar and Parmesan. 5. Bake, uncovered, 35 minutes, or until golden on edges.


Serves 6 to 8.
