Ingredients:
3 ½ cups shredded zucchini (yellow squash works well too)
1 white onion, finely diced
8 oz premium cheddar cheese, shredded and divided (use half for mixing in, half for topping; half of a 16 oz package)
1 cup corn
1 jalapeño, finely diced
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 package (small box) corn muffin mix (like Jiffy Corn Mix)
Nonstick spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini (or yellow squash), diced white onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir in the corn, diced jalapeño, eggs, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the corn muffin mix and stir until everything is just incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for about 55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Serve as a side dish—or enjoy it all on its own!
