Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 small zucchini chopped (about 7 cups)
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey jack
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the zucchini and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the onions have softened a bit.
  • Stir in the garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
  • Transfer the mixture to a colander and let drain for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Add the zucchini mixture to a large mixing bowl along with 1 cup of the cheddar, Monterey jack, eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Notes

You may swap any fresh herb you like for the parsley. Basil, dill, or chives would work well.
