Ingredients

Scale

3 medium zucchinis (sliced)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place sliced zucchinis in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix together beaten eggs, shredded cheese (reserving some for topping), breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
In a greased baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices followed by half of the egg mixture. Repeat with another layer of zucchini and the remaining egg mixture on top.
Sprinkle reserved cheese and an additional dash of breadcrumbs over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
