Ingredients

Zucchini Base

Crunchy Topping

Instructions

  1. Prep the Zucchini: Simmer the sliced zucchini in boiling water until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well to remove excess moisture.

💧 Don't skip draining the zucchini! Excess water can make the casserole soggy.

  1. Make the Creamy Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the sour cream, butter, grated cheese, salt, and paprika. Stir over low heat until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.

  2. Combine: Remove the saucepan from heat, then add the beaten egg yolk and chopped chives. Stir well, then gently fold in the drained zucchini until evenly coated.

  3. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the zucchini mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with crushed corn flakes and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.

  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

🔥 For a little kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the creamy mixture!
