Notes

    • Be sure to drain the cooked zucchini well so that you don't get a soggy casserole.
    • Also, be sure to let the zucchini cool off before adding it to the remaining ingredients. Nobody wants scrambled eggs for this dish.
    • I use the cheap grated parmesan in the green container for this recipe.
    • For the cracker crumbs, I usually crush up Saltines or Ritz Butter crackers.
    • I prefer regular mayonnaise for this recipe as opposed to Miracle Whip.
    • There is no need to peel the zucchini.
