- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Grate them using a box grater, then place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, cottage cheese, chopped onion, eggs, Parmesan cheese, flour, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with olive oil until they are lightly coated. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Step 6
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Step 7
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Zucchini Cottage Cheese Casserole!
