Cheesy Baked Zucchini Casserole can be made low carb or with the amazing crescent roll crust! either way, its incredibly delicious, cheesy and flavorful!
I love to use zucchini in so many different recipes , especially this time of year when its everywhere!
You can make this low carb and keto friendly if you just do everything except add the crescent rolls as the crust- just pour the mixture straight into the baking dish for an amazing side dish everyone will love!
I have made it both ways and you will love it either way, I promise! You can add in a variety of proteins if you want to make it into a full dinner– some great options would be chopped sausage, ground beef or even grilled chicken!
I have baked this recipe 5 times already and each time I try a new cheese, its a wonderful way to fit in your veggies and get a nice amount of protein while you’re at it!
It has lots of flavor , the eggs just help hold it all together. It could even be eaten for breakfast! It surpasses every ones expectations and I plan on making this over the holidays, everyone will be raving over it!
Its not only extremely yummy, its also inexpensive to make, beautiful to look at and a great nutritious recipe!
It pairs well with so many different meats as well, grilled chicken, pork chops, steak – you name it! If you want to lower the fat, just use low fat cheeses 🙂

Have made this several times. Really enjoy it have added some extra touches on occasion sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach. Have a question would like to make this ahead of time for an event. Do you think it would freeze and reheat well? Or ? Any advice/input.?! Thank You
