Recipe: Zucchini Bake!

Hi sunshine! I've been trying to mix it up a bit here but now I'm getting back logged with all of the delicious new recipes I have been trying!

This one is super easy, super yummy, Keto friendly, and everyone in my family loves it!



Ingredients:

2 zucchini
2 cups of broccoli
2 oz cream cheese
3 cups of shredded cheese of your choice
Salt and pepper

To prepare:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 
2. Microwave the 2 oz of cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl for about 20 seconds so that it is soft, but not liquefied.
3. Blanch your broccoli.
4. Chop blanched broccoli and zucchini into bit sized pieces and add to the melted cream cheese. Stir to coat lightly.  
5. Mix in 2 cups of shredded cheese and season lightly with salt and pepper.
6. Add coated veggies to a greased baking dish.
7. Bake for 30 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and top with remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
9. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.



We also do a number of variations on this recipe and swap out the veggies or types of cheese in equal proportions. Our favorite veggies aside from broccoli and zucchini are yellow squash, cauliflower, spaghetti squash (a little higher in carbs), and green beans. For the cheese, we primarily use mozzarella, but cheddar, Gruyere, and many others work too! 

Enjoy!!
