Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage to the mixture. You can switch the cheeses; mozzarella or pepper jack offers distinct flavors. Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid a soggy casserole. For a crispy topping, mix crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with butter before baking.
