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 is at the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings and cheese.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs and canola oil until the mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet egg and oil mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is well combined and forms a batter.
- Add Vegetables: Fold in the diced zucchini and chopped onion carefully, ensuring that the vegetables are evenly coated throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Prepare to Bake: Grease a casserole dish lightly with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the zucchini mixture evenly into the dish, spreading it out smoothly.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven, baking for about 25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to firm up, making it easier to cut and serve.
Notes
- You can substitute baking mix with self-rising flour if unavailable.
- For additional flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs like parsley.
- Ensure zucchini is diced small to cook through evenly in the baking time.
- This dish reheats well and can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Use a non-stick or well-greased casserole dish to avoid sticking.
