Add the prepared zucchini and
simmer until tender.
Drain thoroughly.

Cook over medium heat until the onions are tender.
Crush the Ritz Crackers.
Using a fork whisk the eggs.
Using a hand potato masher, mash the zucchini.
Add the cooked onion, mushrooms
and eggs then toss to combine.
Add the cheese.
Toss until the cheese melts.
Add the cracker crumbs and toss to combine.
Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking oil.
Pour the zucchini mixture
into the casserole dish.
Garnish with paprika, optional.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for
35 – 40 minutes or until set then serve.

It reminded me of a broccoli, rice and cheese recipe that I make, in taste only. I actually thought it would be really good with rice added. I knew it was good when my husband went back for seconds.

Zucchini is one of those things. You either love it or hate it. We here love it! Try slicing it thin and frying in olive oil. Then pour it all over some good spaghetti or linguini. A true feast for the palate.

Nice! We have been eating quite a bit of zucchini lately. Our favorite, although not fancy, is simply taking some sliced, well-seasoned zucchini and placing it on our Korean BBQ grill.
After several minutes on each side, you see the lovely char marks. These go perfectly with thinly sliced brisket or hotpot beef.

As I was eating it Barb I was thinking of how good it would be to throw in some chicken and rice for a complete meal, although it could be a complete meal just like this too. We enjoyed it as a side dish and my hubby went back for seconds!

Container gardening does work! We only had 4 zucchini plants come up and by now, I have about had it with zucchini. I don’t buy it after the local season ends so we eat a lot of it in a short length of time!.
