Tender zucchini slices baked in a rich, creamy cheese sauce with garlic, Italian seasoning, mozzarella, and cheddar. A comforting low-carb side dish with a bubbly golden topping.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 large zucchini (sliced thinly)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper and stir until the cream cheese melts into a smooth mixture.
  4. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and simmer gently until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Add the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and stir until melted and smooth. Pour the cheese sauce out of the skillet and set aside.
  6. Arrange the thinly sliced zucchini in the same skillet in slightly overlapping concentric circles.
  7. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the zucchini.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and golden and the zucchini is tender.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Slice the zucchini evenly and thinly to help it cook at the same rate.
  • Allowing the dish to rest for 10 minutes helps the creamy sauce set before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat until warmed through.
