Zucchini 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

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)

Layer 1

Layer 2

Baked and ready to cut

A perfect dinner entrée for a summer evening

Ciao until next time – will surely try to blog hop this week – love you all!!
