Caprese Zucchini Casserole Recipe

Cooking Direction

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-8- or 7-by-10-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange squash and tomatoes decoratively, like rows of shingles, in the prepared dish.
• Combine shallot, 1/4 cup basil, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. Bake until the vegetables are tender, and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of basil. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if desired.
