Cheesy zucchini casserole



Tonight's post is a quickie. Just a quick recipe and two pictures. Also, every recipe on my blog is vegan. ALWAYS. Enjoy!
Cheesy zucchini casserole
Cheesy zucchini casserole (adapted from VegWeb.com's squash casserole)
Equipment:
8x8 or 9x9 pan
Box grater

Serves 4

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. zucchini (about 2 medium to large zucchini)
  • 1 onion (I used a red onion as it was all we had, but a sweet onion would have been great!)
  • 2 eggs worth of the powdered egg replacer (3 teaspoons powder, no liquid)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • a pinch lemon pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 a cup shredded cheese (I needed the box grater because I had a half a block of Sheese strong cheddar to grate)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup soy milk
  • bread crumbs 
Directions:
  • Slice zucchini into bite-sized pieces and dice onion small. 
  • Mix egg substitute, vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, shredded cheese, salt and peppers in a bowl until well-blended. 
  • Add milk until the sauce is like thick pancake batter. 
  • Pour onion and zucchini into a casserole dish and pour cheese mixture on top. 
  • Stir gently to cover vegetables.  Sprinkle with enough bread crumbs to cover the mixture. 
  • Bake, covered, at 350 F for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. 
  • Enjoy!

  3. Doesn't vegan imply no cheese?
