makes 4 Servings

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 5 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9x9-inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine Cheddar, Parmesan, oregano, basil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  3. Arrange half of the zucchini slices in the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese and herb mixture on top. Arrange half of the tomatoes, and top with another 1/4 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in breadcrumbs; cook until they have absorbed the butter. Sprinkle on top of casserole.
