But this year I noticed people are starting to visit the recipe again! Have you tried this recipe that&#8217;s the most popular zucchini recipe on my blog?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was my sister Pam who originally found this recipe in Penzey&#8217;s Back to School Catalog (in 2011!) Pam changed the recipe a bit when she made it, and then I changed it a tiny bit more when I tried it. Pam and I were both so impressed with how this very basic idea of tossing zucchini with a few fresh and dried herbs and cheese and then baking it can produce a cheesy zucchini bake that&#8217;s so delicious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ll be honest, I did probably make it a little cheesier than the original recipe, and Jake and I also used a very generous amount of sliced basil. The other change I made was to switch from an 8-inch square casserole dish to one that was 8 inches x 11 inches. I really did like the way this larger dish let the zucchini spread out more so each piece was covered with cheese, but take your choice on that!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And zucchini season is here or neatly here for many of you, so when you get zucchini from your garden or the farmers market, you must try this, or make it again if you&#8217;re already a fan!<\/p>\n<h2>What ingredients do you need?<\/h2>\n<p>(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the <strong>JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe with ingredient amounts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>zucchini, cut in slices or half-moon slices<\/li>\n<li>yellow squash, cut in slices or half-moon slices<\/li>\n<li>chopped fresh basil (more or less, depending on how much you like the flavor of basil)<\/li>\n<li>thinly sliced green onion<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31Ls274\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dried Thyme<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32Lk28X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garlic Powder<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n<li>grated mozzarella cheese<\/li>\n<li>coarsely grated Parmesan, plus a little more for the top if desired<\/li>\n<li>salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you use other types of cheese?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Personally I think the grated Mozzarella and coarsely-grated Parmesan used in this cheesy zucchini recipe is perfect to go with the flavor of basil and fresh zucchini. But if you&#8217;d prefer another cheese you can use any white cheese that melts well.<\/p>\n<h2>Want more cheesy zucchini recipes?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The popularity of this recipe shows how many people are fans of the combination of zucchini with cheese!
