ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE



Zucchini Casserole image

Zucchini is easily overlooked, but with the addition of melty cheese and a crunchy cornflake topping, you can transform this summer vegetable into a perfect casserole for a barbeque or potluck. Switch out the herbs with what you have on hand--chives, thyme, basil and cilantro would all work well and add great flavor!

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
8 ounces shredded Cheddar (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups cornflakes
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a large colander inside a large bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one-third of the zucchini to the skillet, arrange in a single later and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the zucchini begins to soften and is golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared colander. Repeat to cook remaining zucchini in 2 more batches, using 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkling with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper for each batch. Transfer each batch to the colander.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet along with the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Let cool for 5 minutes, then fold into the zucchini. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the Cheddar, parsley and Italian seasoning. Pour over the zucchini mixture, making sure that some of the egg mixture sinks down to the bottom.
  • Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium bowl until melted. Fold in the cornflakes and hot sauce. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake until the eggs are set and the cornflakes are deeply golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

TOMATO/ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE



Tomato/Zucchini Casserole image

Like it or Lump it! Zucchini (Courjette) is a fact of life, and true to its inherent squash quality, they do grow to an enormous size. What does one do with so much zucchini? Make zucchini bread for bake sales, for pot lucks, for gifts at Christmas, for hostess gifts. or make a lovely tomato/zucchini casseroles for a nice change. The addition of salt in this recipe is rather discretionary, given the salt factor in the cheeses. Govern yourself accordingly. Although the salt item is included in the recipe, personally, I omit it entirely (once again, because of the cheeses).

ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO TARTLETS WITH A CHEDDAR CRUST



Zucchini and Tomato Tartlets With a Cheddar Crust image

These individual tartlets have a Cheddar-spiked, buttery crust holding a filling of honey-drizzled roasted vegetables and creamy ricotta. You can use any roasted vegetables here, changing up the mix to suit the seasons. Late summer is perfect for some combination of zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes and even corn. Then try the likes of winter squash, brussels sprouts and mushrooms in fall; cabbage, onions and other root vegetables in winter, and sautéed greens and asparagus in spring. If you're planning ahead, you can make the dough up to five days in advance and roast the vegetables the day before (store them in the refrigerator). But do try to bake these on the same day as serving. They are at their best still warm.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups/170 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/65 grams whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 sticks/12 tablespoons/170 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup/55 grams sharp Cheddar, grated
1 large egg, whisked
3 medium zucchini, about 2 pounds, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons hot honey (see note), more for drizzling if you like
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar or white wine vinegar
3/4 cup fresh ricotta
1 large egg
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1 small garlic clove, grated
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, for brushing the tops
6 tablespoons finely grated Cheddar

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flours and salt. Pulse in butter and Cheddar until mixture resembles chickpeas. Drizzle in whisked egg and ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 6 tablespoons, pulsing occasionally until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into a ball, wrap with plastic and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • While dough chills, prepare the filling. Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini and tomatoes with rosemary, salt, red pepper and olive oil; spread mixture out into one layer. Roast, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Stir honey and vinegar into the hot vegetables, then let cool completely.
  • Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray or use a nonstick muffin pan. Roll out dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, trimming any rough edges. Cut into a dozen 4-by-4-inch pieces and gently press each piece into the holes of the muffin tin, leaving the 4 corners hanging over the edges. Chill dough for at least another 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta, egg, chives and garlic. Season with a large pinch each of salt and black pepper.
  • Divide ricotta mixture into the bottom of each tart, using about 1 tablespoon each. Top with the roasted vegetables. Fold edges of crust over filling. Brush tops of tarts with cream or milk and sprinkle with cheese. Place muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees until bubbling and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle tarts with a little honey (about 1/2 teaspoon per tartlet) if you like. Cool slightly before serving.
