I used a Tipsy Wine Soaked Cheese, it added incredible flavor to the bake. But I also have used other cheese’s and they all taste great. So don’t feel you can’t make if you don’t have that type of cheese. You can use cheddar, Monterey, or any other type.

    Best Way to Shred Zucchini 

    You can use a classic grater or food processor to shred your zucchini. I leave the skin on the zucchini I find the skins bake nicely and you don’t need to do the extra steps of peeling them. It also adds some color to the zucchini casserole.

    Could I Use Sliced Zucchini Instead of Shredded Zucchini?

    Since you have a flour-based filling, I am not sure it would blend and mix the way it needs to. If it was just a cheesy-egg based mix it would work, but the flour I think would make it bake unevenly. You could try it but I can’t promise success.

    Yes. Feel free to double or even triple this recipe if you would like. Simply make as much or little as you would like. Just measure properly and use a larger dish and all will be fine. If you double the recipe you can either make two 8×8 pans or opt for a 9×13 size pan. Just adjust the cooking time to ensure it is fully cooked.

    Can You Freeze This Zucchini Recipe? 

    I am not sure. I would think with all the ingredients you could easily freeze this zucchini bake. Just wrap tightly in aluminum foil or place in an airtight container. Then store for up to three months in the freezer. Thaw the night before in the fridge. To reheat you would cover and toss in the oven and bake until it is heated through.

      Haven’t yet tried it yet but it looks yum!

      Can I have a question on a substitute?

      Is it possible to make it a little spicier with if I used chili flakes instead?

    2. Debbie Rardin says:

      I was wondering if I should squeeze the shredded zucchini before adding the rest of the ingredients.

    3. Hello. Trying cheesy zucchini bake but how many cups of grated zucchini? I have small & really large zucchini. Is recipe based on store bought size? Thanks

    4. We loved the recipe. I had friends over for dinner and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I used rice flour my zucchinis were quite large, so I only used two. Next time I think I will make it up ahead of time and freeze it and bake it when I have company. I used fresh dill.

    5. When you say tipsy wine soaked cheese, what kind of cheese is this exactly.

    6. Rosalie Woodcox says:

      Do you peel the zucchini

    7. Just tried this and we loved it. Used Spelt flour, added chopped Hham and tomatoes. Served it with sweet chilli sauce.

    8. My husband is on a low salt diet. Feta is a salty cheese. Would it spoil it if I just doubled the other cheese?

    9. Can this be made up, frozen and baked later?

    10. Jane Kealey says:

      Do you squeeze the water from the grate zucchini

    11. Judi Kolmos says:

      Can you use almond flour

    12. About how many cups of zucchini?

    13. Your recipe calls for 3 zucchini – what size? How many cups of shredded shredded zucchini should be used?

        1. Can. I use parsley instead of fill.

          1. Yes, you can. It will change the flavor a bit, but I think it would still taste yummy.

    14. Can you use dried dill and if so how much?
