Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini and corn kernels. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the cheese mixture over the zucchini and corn. Gently fold everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the cheese mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
  6. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini and corn. For extra texture, consider adding a layer of crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top before baking. You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile.
