I make it at least once a year anyways because I like it. This is the recipe written out. In actuality, I don’t measure any of this, I just eyeball the ingredients.

My mother’s garden exploded with zucchini this year. She is still bringing me good sized zucchini. I’m getting a little tired of zucchini bread. Here is a side dish that I’ve made before that is quite yummy.
Baked Zucchini
2 pounds zucchini
oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cup milk
1 cup bread crumbs, divided
1/2 package grated cheese, divided
