Baked Zucchini with Cheese

A creamy, golden-brown vegetable bake featuring tender zucchini and a savory yogurt-egg glaze.

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

  • Cook time: 30–35 minutes

  • Servings: 4 side portions

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini, sliced into rounds

  • 2 onions, thinly sliced into rounds

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • 150 g yogurt (plain or Greek)

  • 150 g cheese, grated (such as Mozzarella or Cheddar)

  • Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, paprika, and vegetable seasoning to taste

  • Oil for greasing and cooking

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Lightly grease a glass baking dish with oil. Season the zucchini rounds with salt, black pepper, paprika, and vegetable seasoning.

2. Layer the Dish

Arrange the seasoned zucchini rounds and sliced onions in rows in the baking dish, overlapping them slightly to fill the pan. Sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly over the top.

3. Mix the Creamy Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and 150 g of yogurt until smooth. Season this mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

4. Top and Bake

Pour the yogurt and egg mixture evenly over the rows of vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle the 150 g of grated cheese generously over the entire surface.

5. Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese topping is bubbly and deep golden brown.

6. Serve

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the creamy sauce to set.

Recipe Variations

  • Extra Protein: You can tuck slices of cooked ham or turkey between the zucchini layers.

  • Herb Freshness: Top with fresh chopped parsley or dill after baking for a burst of color and flavor.
