Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Layer
  • 2 cups Zucchini Acts as the main vegetable; substitute with yellow squash for a similar flavor and texture.

For the Creamy Mixture

For the Cheesy Topping
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Provides stretchy, gooey texture; can substitute with cheddar or a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.

For Seasoning and Garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for elevating flavor; adjust to taste depending on your preference.
