These savory zucchini squares are so incredibly delicious, and they're one of a kind! The cheddar mixes perfectly with the herbs and zucchini, and the bread has a scone-like texture that melts in your mouth! The recipe I am sharing is adapted from one that my Grandma used to make. I made a few changes from the original recipe, since I typically cook from scratch and her recipe called for bisquick, and I ended up with these delicious zucchini squares - with no bisquick!
The ingredients needed for these delicious zucchini squares are simple:
step one: peel stripes of skin off the zucchini, then slice into 1/8" or less half moon slices and dice the onion
step two: whisk together the flour, baking powder, and seasonings
step three: add the onion, zucchini, and cheddar cheese and toss to coat in the flour mixture
step four: add the eggs and milk and mix well until a very sticky dough is formed (I typically use my hands with a bit of oil because the mixture is so sticky)
step five: press the mixture down into a 9x13 pan line with parchemnt and bake for 30 minutes or until the bread has risen and is golden brown
These zucchini squares are not freezer friendly - the larger pieces of zucchini will get too mushy upon reheating after freezing.
I recommend storing these zucchini squares in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days for maximum freshness. They can be enjoyed cold, or you can microwave them to reheat for a few seconds.
You can absolutely change these bars to suit your tastes! I recommend to try adding minced jalapeno or bacon bits. You can also substitute parmesan for the cheddar cheese if desired. A pinch of cayenne pepper or italian seasoning also pairs nicely with this recipe.

Preheat oven to 350 F, line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper
Cut butter into flour mixture, until largest pieces are about the size of a pea
Toss zucchini, onion and cheese into the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly coated.
Stir in eggs and milk, and mix just until sticky dough forms
Press dough into prepared baking dish, then bake in preheated oven 30-35 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is set. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Allow to cool 15 minutes before slicing and serving

Sunday June 4, 2023Made this today & it was very good. I added green onions & jalapeños. Will add a lit more cheese next. I don’t like to use bisquick so this was perfect! Thank you!

Saturday July 30, 2022Ground thyme or dried thyme leaves; or even fresh? I have bad luck when using thyme, I can never tell what a good amount is and have ruined many otherwise great recipes because of using the wrong version.

Saturday July 30, 2022definitely use the dried leaves for this recipe! thyme can quickly be overpowering if used incorrectly. For future reference - generally powder is strongest, then the dried leaves, then fresh (and erring on the side of caution is always best when seasoning something for the first time!)
