Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup baking mix
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (slightly beaten)
- 1/2 cup canola oil
Vegetables
- 3 cups diced zucchini
- 1 large chopped onion
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the desired baking temperature before placing the casserole inside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the dry base.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the lightly beaten eggs and canola oil together until they are fully blended and slightly frothy, which will help incorporate air into the casserole for a better texture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure all components are well combined and form a smooth batter.
- Add Vegetables: Fold the diced zucchini and chopped onion into the batter carefully so that the vegetables are evenly coated with the mixture, ensuring uniform flavor and texture throughout the casserole.
- Transfer and Bake: Grease a casserole dish lightly with oil or cooking spray, then pour the prepared mixture into it. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh zucchini for the best flavor and texture; avoid overwatering by patting diced zucchini dry with a paper towel before adding.
- You can substitute the baking mix with self-rising flour, but this may slightly affect the texture.
- Try adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives for additional freshness.
- This casserole pairs well with a green salad or roasted meats for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
