Ingredients:
Zucchinis (medium-sized, 4), sliced into rounds
Tomatoes (2), chopped or cherry tomatoes as preferred
Onion (1/2), finely chopped
Cheddar cheese (1 cup), shredded
Bacon slices (6), cooked and crumbled
Olive oil
Fresh herbs (1/4 cup), chopped (think parsley, basil, or thyme)
Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt and pepper, as per taste
Step-by-Step to Gourmet Delight:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish with olive oil.
Sauté chopped onions in a skillet with heated oil until translucent.
In a spacious bowl, amalgamate zucchini, tomatoes, bacon, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring a uniform mixture.
Transition the zucchini mixture into the casserole dish, ensuring an even spread. Shower it with cheese.
Allow it to bake for 25-30 minutes until the zucchini surrenders to tenderness and the cheese transforms into a golden blanket.
Allow a brief pause for cooling before you dive into the heavenly bites.
Serve as a stand-alone star or a spectacular side, ideally paired with crisp salad or robustly crusty bread.
