Courgette and Tomato Casserole
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic seasoning
salt and pepper, as preferred
2 courgettes, thinly sliced
6-7 Roma tomatoes, sliced (or any desired type of tomatoes)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tbsp melted butter
1 cup plain or Italian-style breadcrumbs
Directions:
1. Combine the mozzarella cheese with the herbs in a small bowl. Mix well and keep to the side.
2. Slice the courgettes and tomatoes. Grease a 9×9″ baking dish. Arrange courgettes, cheese mixture, and tomatoes in layers in the casserole dish. Repeat the layers and finish by sprinkling Parmesan cheese on top.
3. Blend melted butter with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the casserole.
4. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 35 minutes. Uncover and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
5. Take out of the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
TIP: Cooked shredded or diced chicken can also be included in this casserole to turn it into a main course.
