Parmesan Zucchini Gratin Casserole
This Parmesan zucchini gratin casserole is so flavorful and is the perfect comfort side dish. I have always been a huge fan of casseroles but I have never made a zucchini one before. So it was time to experiment! I loved the outcome so much! It is a great side for a holiday party, a dinner or add some meat into the mix and make it a meal!
INGREDIENTS:
-2 big zucchini, sliced
-10.5 oz can cream of chicken
-2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
-2 tbsp heavy cream
-1/4 cup Panko
-1/4 tsp red pepper
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/4 salt
-sprinkle of French onions over top
METHOD:
Cut up zucchini in thin slices. Place them on a paper towel or cheesecloth. Sprinkle on some salt. Let them sit out for a few minutes to drain out some of the moisture in them. Pat zucchini dry after it has sat out. Butter or spray down your oven safe dish. Place zucchini slices in your dish however you desire.
In mixing bowl, mix together your cream of chicken, only 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (the rest you will save for the very top), heavy cream, salt, garlic powder and red pepper. Pour your sauce over the zucchini. Then add the Panko on top. Bake at 375 F for about 25 mins. Take out and then sprinkle on the rest of your Parmesan cheese and your French onions. Cook for another 5 mins.
