Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a casserole dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.
Lay zucchini slices on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions in olive oil until translucent (3-4 minutes).
In a large bowl, combine drained zucchini, sautéed onions, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, eggs, and half of the mozzarella. Mix until well coated.
Layer half of the zucchini mixture in the casserole dish; add your favorite toppings; top with remaining mixture and sprinkle with rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing.
