Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the sliced zucchini and yellow squash. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture.
- Pour the cream and cheese mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring to combine everything evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add cooked bacon bits or diced ham to the casserole.
- If your zucchini and squash are very watery, you can lightly salt them and let them sit for 15 minutes before cooking, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- This casserole reheats well in the oven or microwave.
