Zucchini casserole with cheese in the oven
It's zucchini time! We prepare a variety of dishes from this vegetable. The vegetable is the same, but the taste is different. Even this casserole can be created in two versions.
1st: you take a baking container and place the mixture of zucchini and other ingredients in it in a layer 3-4 centimeters wide. You will get a soft casserole with the taste of cheese.
2nd option: spread the mixture on a sheet in a thin layer and your casserole will turn out crispy. Try it and you will succeed!
How to cook “Zucchini Casserole with Cheese” step by step with photos at home
For the casserole, take 1 small zucchini or half a huge one. In my photo there is just half a zucchini. This is approximately 500 gr. Peel the zucchini.
Grate the zucchini on a large grater, add salt and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Grate 100 grams of cheese on a small grater. Leave 50 grams of cheese separately for sprinkling the casserole.
Next we will need a bunch of fresh dill, an egg, a clove of garlic, and pepper.
Squeeze 1 clove of garlic into the cheese using a garlic press.
Add 1 egg, finely chopped dill (25 g), pepper (2 pinches) to the cheese.
Mix everything thoroughly with a fork.
Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Approximately 1 tablespoon will do.
Now you need to squeeze out the excess juice from the zucchini. If you don't do this, the casserole will turn out soggy.
Combine the zucchini with the cheese mixture and mix.
Put it in the form. Level it out and sprinkle the cheese on top, which we set aside in advance by grating it on a large grater.
Place in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
Zucchini casserole with cheese is ready. Serve the casserole with fresh lettuce and sour cream.

Step-by-step recipe with photos
Zucchini casserole with cheese is a frisky, satisfying and very ordinary dish. You can vary the ingredients according to your own taste and preference. Only zucchini and eggs remain constant. Sour cream and drink can be replaced with milk.
To make zucchini casserole with cheese, we need: zucchini, onion, sweet pepper, tomato, 3 chicken eggs, a little sour cream or kefir, herbs, cheese and seasonings to taste.
If the zucchini is young, like mine, then you don’t necessarily have to grate it, just cut it into thin slices, add salt and lightly crush it to release excess liquid. Add dark ground pepper and herbs, if desired.
Chop the onion and fry in a small amount of vegetable oil.
Literally do the same with bell peppers.
Lightly beat the eggs, mix with sour cream and kefir, salt and pepper and add herbs. Mix the resulting mass well.
Grease a baking dish with oil, add fried onions
Then – bell peppers and zucchini.
Top everything with chopped tomatoes. Be sure to lightly salt and add your favorite spices.
Pour beaten eggs with herbs and sour cream over everything.
Bake at 180-190 degrees (if the oven is electronic) for approximately 30 minutes.
Then take out the casserole and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place it in the oven to bake for another 10 minutes until perfectly crusted.
The finished zucchini casserole with cheese can be cut into pieces and served.
Zucchini casserole with cheese in the oven
Zucchini casserole with cheese, cooked in the oven, is a spring dish, because in my opinion, zucchini tastes best in the spring. In the spring, I notice that I miss the taste of zucchini; the young ones are especially good. And dishes with them go really well in the spring. So the first zucchini appeared on the shelves of my town. Without hesitation, I bought a couple of pieces, and when I got home I started thinking about what I would cook with them.
After wandering around the expanse of the culinary Internet, I decided on something that I had never cooked before - zucchini casserole with cheese. All the photos of zucchini and cheese casserole were so delicious that I really wanted to get my own idea of this dish. Judging by the description of the recipe, the casserole was prepared quite simply and it was virtually impossible to spoil it. And because I love zucchini, and cheese too, I didn’t even hesitate that I would like the taste of the result.
And, as you can judge from my photos, the recipe really turned out to be successful, and the zucchini casserole with cheese turned out to be very tasty. I suggest you try making this zucchini casserole. I'm sure you'll like it too :)
- 1 zucchini (400 g)
- flour 200 g
- eggs 2 pcs.
- sour cream 200 ml
- butter 80 g
- cheese 100 g
- garlic 2 cloves
- no matter what greens
- baking powder 10 g
- salt 1 tsp with a slide
So, I’m starting to make zucchini casserole with cheese. I have all the ingredients in stock. The weight of my zucchini is a little more than 400 g. But you can take a zucchini that is a little larger, as well as, on the contrary, a little much smaller. You can use any cheese, it will still be delicious. The rest - flour, eggs, sour cream and butter - do not need clarification. The recipe also calls for baking powder. I advise you not to lose sight of it if you want the casserole to be porous. Garlic can be used as desired, but it is more flavorful. You can also take your favorite spices - paprika, dark or reddish pepper, turmeric.
Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees and start preparing the casserole. Wash the zucchini and grate it on a large grater. Place the grated zucchini on a sieve and give it time to release the juice.
In a bowl, combine sour cream, butter, two eggs and a teaspoon of salt. I mixed everything using an immersion blender - quickly and perfectly.
Grate 100 g of cheese on a large grater. Finely chop the parsley or any other greens you prefer. Add to the mixture of sour cream, butter and eggs a little more than half of the grated cheese, all the herbs and a couple of cloves of garlic passed through a press.
We squeeze out all the juice from the zucchini with our hands; we won’t need it. Add zucchini to the total mass. We also mix the flour with baking powder and add it to the bowl. Mix everything well with a spoon and get a fairly thick dough.
Transfer the dough into a heat-resistant form. There is no need to grease the pan with anything; the casserole contains enough oil and will not stick to the walls of the pan. Spread the remaining cheese over the surface of the casserole.
Place the casserole dish in an oven already preheated to 180 degrees and bake it for 45-55 minutes. We assess the readiness of the casserole by the color of its surface and using a toothpick, which must come out of the casserole without any remaining dough.
Let the finished zucchini casserole with cheese, cooked in the oven, cool slightly, then cut into portions and serve. The outside of the casserole is compacted and slightly crispy due to the melted cheese, and the inside is warm and buttery.
I wish everyone a good mood. Cook with pleasure!
