  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  7. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and half of the breadcrumbs over the zucchini.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini mixture, cheddar cheese, and breadcrumbs.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the zucchini mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute other cheeses like mozzarella or Gruyere.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
