Fold the sliced zucchini into the cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is completely coated.
06 -
Pour the zucchini-cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly across the surface.
07 -

Place dish on the center oven rack and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center.
