Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and garlic, sautéing until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices, sautéed spinach, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top if using, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy casserole!

Notes

Salting and draining the zucchini helps remove excess moisture, preventing a watery casserole. For an extra cheesy dish, sprinkle additional feta or Parmesan on top before baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s cold. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
