Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • ½ cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 oz package Jiffy Cornbread Mix
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini and transfer it to a colander. Evenly sprinkle with salt and allow it to sit and drain for 30 minutes. Afterward, press the zucchini to expel excess moisture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 7x10-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Lay the zucchini on paper towels and squeeze again to remove remaining water.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, zucchini, diced onion, eggs, Montreal Steak Seasoning, and 1½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly to incorporate.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the surface.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Measure the zucchini before draining; the three-cup quantity refers to its undrained volume.
