2 large zucchini spiralised or grated.
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
115 g butter
1 cup grated Mozzerella
125 g cream cheese
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated parmesan.
-----------
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F
Place the zucchini in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle with salt.
Melt the butter and cream cheese in a large pan over a medium heat, add the cream. and stir together.
Add the cheddar cheese and mozzarella, garlic, mustard and salt and pepper. Stir well until the sauce is smooth.
Squeeze the water out of the zucchini with paper towels or a clean tea towel and stir them gently in to the sauce.
Pour the whole lot in to a greased baking dish, sprinkle over the parmesan and bake for 20 mins until the top is golden.
Notes
We found this very greasy, in future we would half or even omit the butter.
I have used a very similar cheese sauce recipe (No butter) over cauli and broccoli.
Sometimes I add mixed herbs or diced crispy bacon, or left over sausage.
Yum!

Sounds a bit like zucchini slice….always a favourite.
Wow, yes sounds very rich but also very yummy. You had me thinking about he 'Mac' part.
This sounds great Lou. You were so quick to post a new recipe. Thanks.
Mmm, that sounds worth trying. I often make cheese sauce with cream cheese this way, instead of making a flour/butter roux.
A lot of cheese in there. But sounds good
I will cook the recipe... thank you.
Today we are having veal schnitzel, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and a small dessert made of pudding and blueberries.
I wish you a happy and healthy new year. May you realize many of your projects. I'm looking forward to it.
A wonderful blogging year 2025 for all of us. And a hug for you.
Viola
it looks positively scrumptious!
I will give this a try sounds great, maybe omitting the butter too.
