Great but I changed the Parmesan cheese out for pecorino and added 1/2 tsp rosemary and 1/2 tsp of parsley with the Thyme into the egg/cream mix and poured that over the cheese and bread crumb mix as well as rest of the vegetable mix.

This is a basic no frills recipe. It is creamy and a good comfort food but does not have much flavor. I added more fresh herbs (thyme and oregano and some smoked paprika.

Perfect. Made it exactly as written, and it has great flavor and texture. Definitely a keeper.

Im excited to taste it! It is in the Large skillet almost ready. 20 Minutes is too long for medium high heat on my glass stop stove. I'm at or around 12 minutes (too long. And I really want to add cheddar cheese in the mixture. I also used the new ritz minis butter flavored crackers.
By no means am I a professional. So, I used whipping cream instead of heavy cream. What is the difference? I guess I have to look it up. I hope it turns out.

Loved this dish, but will make some adjustments next time. The zucchini doesn't need to cook for a full 20 minutes on the stovetop, it was overcooked by the time it came out of the oven. A good 5-10 minutes is enough. I will add a little cayenne next time for some bite!

As my first casserole, this was really easy to follow. I modified mine to my own tastes and it turned out great!

I cut the zucchini/squash slices about 1/2" thick, and cooked it in a really big/deep sautee pan, stirring every 5 minutes to cook them evenly

1/2 a giant sweet onion and 3 big cloves of garlic, and added hot pepper flakes for extra flavor

Per recommendations of other reviewers, I mixed shredded parm/romano in with the squash and topped the whole dish with sliced tomatoes before baking it.

I mixed crushed Ritz crackers with seasoned bread crumbs for extra flavor, and drizzled olive oil over the top to make the crumbs moist.

This casserole was not very flavorful. To revitalize it as leftovers, mix grated Romano (or Parmigiano Regiano cheese with seasoned bread crumbs. Layer zucchini casserole with mixture and repeat in a baking dish of needed size. Bake to heat through, covered. Remove cover to complete heating. Put under broiler for a minute or so to brown.

This mixture gives a nice addition of flavor lacking in the original recipe.

I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. The only changes were that I added a more onion and garlic (because I always do!. I used 1 huge zuc & 1 large summer squash. Cooked in a Dutch oven to be safe it was large enough. I blended in Parm-Reg cheese and the end of cook time. Very good! It will be a regular dish for us! I grow zucchini and am always looking for more recipes to use it up, this is a great one!

I thought it was pretty good and we followed the directions exactly!

For some people I know it is probably easier to see a picture tutorial! I have one at my blog here: http://www.pinkrosecany.com/2010/07/my-mom-always-wanted-me-to-have-cooking.html

Also, at the end of the post there are a few things I would do next time to make this good recipe GREAT!
