Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Grate the zucchini into a clean kitchen towel. Twist and squeeze the towel firmly over the sink for 30 seconds until the zucchini is damp but no longer dripping.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, diced onion, beaten eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the shredded cheddar and Parmesan until the zucchini is thoroughly coated.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the zucchini mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with crushed Ritz crackers and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the surface of the casserole.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the topping is a deep mahogany-gold.
