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 the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s properly heated when you’re ready to bake the casserole.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Prepare wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the slightly beaten eggs together with the canola oil until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures. Pour the egg and oil mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is just combined.
- Add vegetables. Fold the diced zucchini and chopped onion into the batter gently, making sure they are fully coated with the mixture without overmixing.
- Bake the casserole. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- For a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking—watch carefully to prevent burning.
- If fresh dill is available, substitute 1 tablespoon dried dill with 3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped finely.
- To make this casserole gluten-free, use a gluten-free baking mix.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to enhance flavor if desired.
