When I arrived at work today I found a zucchini sitting on my desk; a gift from a co-worker. I spent the day with zucchini preparation ideas floating in the back of my head. I still hadn't decided what I was going to do with it when I stopped at a small local cheese store on the way home. They had a cheese in the case called
Dilly Girl, which is a cheddar flavored with dill and roasted garlic. I thought that would go nicely with my zucchini so I purchased some. I was right. It was quite delicious (although I'm sure a plain cheddar or a garlic cheddar would also be good if you can't find Dilly Girl).
2 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup sliced leeks (I had some frozen from Trader Joe's on hand. Onion would be fine too).
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 large or 2 small zucchini, diced
1/4 lb Dilly Girl cheese, shredded
1/3 cup bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and saute until slightly browned. Add garlic and cook for a minute longer. Stir in zucchini and saute for another 5 minutes.
Grease a 8x11 pan with butter. Spread zucchini mixture in pan. Top with cheese and then bread crumbs.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until zucchini is tender and cheese is bubbly.
Enjoy!
