I was stroling the internet looking for more zucchini recipes
that weren't chocolate and ran across this one at:
About.com http://southernfood.about.com/
It was in the Southern cuisine. If any of you have
visited this sight you may have seen it already. I decided
to try it on my husband. He says it's one of the
better ones we've had so I decided to post it here.
Zucchini with Cheddar and Bacon
6 cups thinly sliced zucchini (quarterd if large)
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons all purpose-flour
2 stiffly beaten egg whites
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 to 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled
1 tablespoon butter(or margarine)
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
Simmer squash in salted water until tender, drain and sprinkle
with a little salt. In mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, sour
cream, and flour. Fold in egg whites.
Place half of the cooked squash in shallow 2 quart
baking dish; top with half of the egg mixture,
half of the shredded cheese and all of the bacon.
Repeat with remaining squash, egg mixture and
cheese. Melt butter, stir in bread crumbs.
Sprinkle over casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for
20 to 25 minutes. Serves about 6
I didn't have dry bread crumbs so I just used
a couple slicesof my homemade bread and
crumbled them and sprinkled it on top. Then
I drizzled the melted butter over it. Worked fine.
It's really easy.
The bacon is a nice
change from the usual ground beef. I think it would
be really good with a chopped onion in it as well. But
if your family doesn't like onion, leave it as it is.
I served it with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes from the
garden.
My camera batteries decided to give up the ghost
as I was doing this so the pictures are from my
phone: not the best but you should get the idea.
Hope you like it.
