Loaded Zucchini Casserole

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. 2
   Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the sliced zucchini and diced onion for 6-8 minutes, until just tender and most liquid has evaporated.
3. 3
   In a large bowl, mix together the sautéed veggies, 2 cups cheddar, 1/2 cup sour cream, crumbled bacon, eggs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
4. 4
   Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
5. 5
   In a small bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this evenly on top of the casserole.
6. 6
   Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top. For a crispier crust, broil for an extra 1-2 minutes.
7. 7
   Let cool slightly, garnish with sliced green onion, and serve warm.
