Italian Zucchini Bake

I love zucchini. It tastes great grilled, sauteed, baked and in various recipes including one of my favorites, zucchini boats. I’ve been wanting to find a good, low carb casserole and after searching some recipe sites, I settled on a recipe that I found on All Recipes. It’s a zucchini casserole type recipe that includes egg, basil, Parmesan and Jack cheeses and of course, zucchini!  This recipe turned out very well. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it and luckily, there are leftovers! Please enjoy this recipe. :)

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan

Instructions

1. Saute garlic, onion and zucchini in butter until tender
2. Meanwhile, chop the basil and parsley (I just threw it all in a food processor and chopped it that way.
3. When the zucchini mixture is done cooking, remove it from the heat.
4. Whisk the egg, basil, parsley, marjoram, Parmesan cheese and salt together in a large mixing bowl. After mixing well, add the zucchini mixture and the Monterey Jack Cheese. Mix well.
5. Add the mixture to a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Once done baking, let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.
