Don’t overbake
Keep the center tender
Let it rest before cutting
Holds together better
Make ahead
Assemble, refrigerate, bake when ready (add 5–10 mins)
Final Thoughts: Sometimes the Best Recipes Are the Ones You Didn’t Plan
We think great meals need time, skill, and a long ingredient list.
But the truth is:
The most beloved dishes often come from spontaneity, surplus, and love.
This Zucchini Cornbread Casserole started as a way to use up extra zucchini.
It stayed because it tastes like summer, comfort, and family.
So next time your garden (or farmers market) overflows…
Don’t stress.
Don’t compost.
Don’t ignore it.
Make this.
Because sometimes, the difference between “just a side” and “I need the recipe”…
Isn’t in the corn.
It’s in the cheese.
