How to make Zucchini Tomato Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: With a bit of butter, grease a 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 3: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, basil, and ground nutmeg to make the cream cheese mixture and set aside.

Step 4: On the bottom of the baking dish, layer half of the slices of zucchini and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Step 5: Over the zucchini slices, add a layer of sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with half each of garlic and fresh basil.

Step 6: Over the tomatoes, add a layer of half of the cream cheese and sprinkle with half of the shredded Italian cheese.

Step 7: Make another layer of the zucchini slices and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 8: Then, make a more layer of the slices of tomato and the remaining garlic and fresh basil.

Step 9: On top, spread a layer of the rest of the cream cheese mixture and sprinkle with the remaining shredded Italian cheese.

Step 10: Dot the top with butter slices.

Step 11: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 22 to 25 minutes until the mixture is bubbly, browned, and veggies are tender.

Step 12: Take out of the oven and allow the casserole to sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 13: Before slicing, garnish with fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!

Note:

For any leftover, place them in airtight containers and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
