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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the appropriate temperature for even baking of the casserole.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create a well-seasoned dry base for the casserole.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs and canola oil until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, ensuring even moisture throughout the casserole.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until fully combined into a cohesive batter that will hold the vegetables well.
- Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced zucchini and chopped onion, making sure the pieces are evenly coated with the batter to distribute flavors and texture uniformly.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the prepared mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Notes
- Make sure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture that can make the casserole soggy.
- Parmesan cheese adds a salty umami flavor; feel free to adjust the salt to taste.
- If you want a stronger dill flavor, you can add a bit more dried dill or use fresh dill finely chopped.
- This casserole can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for different occasions.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the baking mix with a gluten-free alternative.
