How to make BAKED EASY CHEESY ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE RECIPE (ZUCCHINI GRATIN)
Step 1: Add the zucchini slices with sea salt and toss. Transfer into a colander and place it on top of the sink. Drain for about 45 minutes. Then, pat dry.

Step 4: In a small saucepan, combine the brie, cream, milk, and garlic.
Step 5: On the stovetop, heat for several minutes over low to medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add sea salt to taste if desired.
Step 6: Evenly pour the mixture over the zucchini.
Step 7: Then, sprinkle the rest of the 3/4 cup shredded cheese blend over followed by the Italian seasoning.
Step 8: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the cheese is dark golden brown and the zucchini is soft.
