Zucchini casserole/squares

Knit-Chick — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 19:02:16 GMT

This is a great recipe when you need a quick side dish. My recipe calls it casserole, but I think it's often referred to as zucchini squares.

4 eggs

1 cup Bisquick baking mix

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

dash black pepper

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons dried parsley

3 cups zucchini, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 350; Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Beat eggs in bowl, add all ingredients except zucchini. Mix until combined.

Stir in zucchini and pour into baking dish.

Bake for approx. 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

Oh that sounds good. I love zucchini and baking with it makes for a great moist texture. I will try this but on a cooler day when it's not so hot and humid.

Yes, so warm and muggy here too! It's so hard to turn the oven on!

If you grate it, kids can't even find it! Gotta love that!

Or the hubby that won't eat anything green. I use it in a chocolate sheet cake that comes out soooo moist.

This is a great recipe ,my Aunt made it for the first time many years ago and brought to my house as an appetizer.... it was a big hit, she got the recipe off of the Bisquick box....its been a family favorite for many years...she has since passed... I have continued making it....even non -Vegetable eaters have ..liked it , good as a side dish as well as an appetizer...its a great recipe for vegetarians...

@Knit-Chick This recipe sounds intriguing, thanks! I'm curious about the texture though. How would you describe it? I found pictures of it but it's hard to tell what it's similar to. Is it like a quiche, corn bread, a cake, biscuit, scone, or something else?

@LdyBugz Hi! It's not a quiche texure. I would describe it as a moist bread. It can but cut into squares. It comes out pretty thin. I've tried to make it in a 9x9 instead of 13x9 and ended up with a raw middle.

@TVLand you've had this before - do you agree with my description

To me its more of a quiche consistency moist...not wet..not as dry as cornbread...can be cut into any size portions that you want...I' cut them into smaller size pieces...

@Knit-Chick

I cut them into very small bite sized squares and serve as appetizers. I always have an empty platter. Everyone really loves them. Oh yes they also freeze well.

Well, like a bread or quiche, I'll give it a try! Thank you!

Sounds very good. However, Bisquick is not good for me, is there a substitute?

I'm not sure what's a good bisquick replacement! I usually buy the lite version.

I just googled zucchini squares and a Bisquick recipe with a photo came up. I wish I knew how to post it here but it's easy to find. They look delicious! Thanks for posting the recipe.
