Recipe Notes
- Don't skip the step of salting the zucchini. This step helps remove any excess moisture from the squash so it doesn't release too much water into the dish as it bakes.
- You could add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the top of the casserole.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the sliced zucchini into a colander. Sprinkle with salt. Allow the zucchini to sit for about 1 hour to remove moisture. Rinse, dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Whisk together the sugar, butter, vanilla, milk, eggs, onion and flour in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the zucchini.
- Pour the batter into a greased 11x7-inch baking pan or casserole dish. Drizzle the top with a little olive oil.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.
