I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day if you are in the USA!
We celebrated with family and friends at the beach,
with lots of great weather and food ~
I made a zucchini casserole for a side dish one night
This casserole features many favorite ingredients,
Summer corn and zucchini, bacon, and pimiento cheese
It’s hard to beat this combination of flavors!
Cook the bacon first so you can use the drippings
to saute the onions and corn
Saute the onion and when it is transparent,
add a garlic clove, stir well and then add zucchini
Then stir in fresh corn, cut off the cob, bacon pieces and pimiento cheese
I used this Pawley’s Island SC Palmetto Cheese,
It is most delicious and an acceptable substitute
for homemade Pimiento Cheese I think
I also used a 6 cheese Italian Blend
Season with salt and pepper
Stir everything together to mix in cheeses
Transfer mixture to a sprayed or greased casserole dish
Beat eggs
Pour the eggs over zucchini mixture in casserole, and stir
At this point you can cover casserole and refrigerate it
for baking later if desired
Bake it uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until set
