  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups zucchini, sliced or diced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, bell peppers, onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set.
  5. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Cut your zucchini into uniform pieces so everything cooks evenly.
  • Pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel before mixing to reduce excess moisture.
  • You can swap mozzarella for cheddar or Parmesan for a different flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
