Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (canned is fine)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 large zucchini, shredded (about 2 lbs.)
  • 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumb
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Method

  • In a large nonstick skillet, combine mushrooms, chopped onions and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated and vegetables are beginning to brown.
  • To deglaze, add 1/3 cup of the vegetable broth and stir to scrape any browned bits free from pan bottom.
  • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to brown again.
  • Repeat deglazing and browning steps 2 more times, using 1/3 cup broth each time. Onion should be golden brown.
  • This should take about 15 to 20 minutes total.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs to blend. Stir in shredded zucchini, mushroom mixture, bread crumbs, cheese, pepper and oregano.
  • Turn into greased 9x13" baking dish, spreading out evenly.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 until casserole appears set in center when dish is gently shaken -- about 35 minutes.
  • Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.
