Ingredients
- 4 cups zucchini
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with olive oil and set aside.
Step 2
Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds (about 1/4-inch thick). If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed and drained.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the zucchini slices and corn kernels to the mixture, stirring gently until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the zucchini and corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the breadcrumbs are moistened and crumbly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
