Three Cheese & Zucchini Bake Recipe – Easy Zucchini or Courgette Casserole with healthy, low carb high protein and gluten free simple ingredients.
Three Cheese & Zucchini Bake Recipe
This zucchini bake recipe is so easy and can be adapted to include whatever cheese (and vegetables) you like.
Depending on how many carbs you want to allocate, you can choose to include as little or as much leek, garlic and onion as you like.
You can choose one or all three vegetables and decide how to balance your perfect zucchini casserole.
I went for feta, cream cheese and grated mozarella as my cheese choices. Feel free to use this combination or your own favourite cheeses instead to create a high protein cheesy casserole.
I mention 1/4 to 1/2 cup of each cheese in the recipe because it’s up to you how cheesy and creamy you want your cheese sauce to be.
This dish makes a great cheesy vegetarian dinner or side dish and is the perfect low carb comfort food.
