Zucchini Breakfast Bake

My neighbor has dropped by a couple times with zucchini from her garden. I have been trying to make some different dishes with it and I made this casserole a few days ago. The recipe is similar to a crustless quiche but the pancake mix that is stirred in reduces how eggy the casserole tastes. It is great for a brunch but also excellent for dinner. This recipe is adapted from Artsy Foodie.

    I’ve made this four times now and the latest time I made it in a glass pan. I would not recommend doing that. The outside cooked too quickly and the inside was barely done. The product had a crusty outside. Otherwise it’s a great recipe for any meal!

  • I absolutely adore this dish, but I am constantly getting confused with the name, in the UK the zucchini is known as the courgette and the name is completely different.
