🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but recommended)
🔪 Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Zucchini
Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Grate it using a box grater, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is important—too much water can make the casserole soggy.
2. Preheat and Prepare the Dish
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish (about 9×9 inches) with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
