Directions

Directions are based on the original recipe of 6 servings

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice it in half lengthwise. Then cut into small bite-sized pieces. Salt the zucchini and let sit. Drain and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place into a baking dish and set aside.

In a medium saucepan add the butter and chopped onion and saute for a minute or two.

2. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook on medium-high heat until the cream cheese is melted, whisking constantly

3. Now add ½ cup grated parmesan and ½ cup shredded mozzarella. Whisk until well combined.

Pour the cheese sauce over the zucchini and stir to ensure all the zucchini is covered with the sauce.

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of parmesan and ½ cup mozzarella on top.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and gets golden.
