Zucchini bread recipe?

[SueDonJ]

Anybody have a tried-and-true recipe you're willing to share? My neighbor came back from vacation and delivered monster zucchini and grape tomatoes that ran amok in her garden while she was away. I made and froze some ratatouille but want to try a zucchini bread. And if the dough can be used for muffins that would be a bonus. Thanks.

Sorry no Zucchini Bread recipe, but I love this Zucchini Fritatta. Sometimes I splurge and add a little bacon

ZUCCHINI FRITATTA
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium zucchini (about 1 1/3 pounds), rinsed, trimmed, shredded, and squeezed dry
2 medium cloves garlic , minced
1 - 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves , tarragon, basil, or mint
6 large eggs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions
1. Shred trimmed zucchini on large holes of a box grater or in a food processor fitted with the shredding disk. Wrap shredded zucchini in towels and squeeze out excess liquid. Remove zucchini from towel, place in medium bowl and set aside.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in 10-inch (preferably nonstick) skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in herbs and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. Heat broiler. Beat six large eggs with 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese in medium bowl. Stir fully cooked zucchini mixture into eggs. Heat additional teaspoons oil in the now empty skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini-egg mixture; cook until frittata is almost set, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide skillet under broiler and cook until frittata is set and top is browned. Do not let frittata burn. Flip onto serving plate. Serve hot or at room temperature.

YUM great recipes, Thanks for sharing...Will make them soon.

 

[SueDonJ]

Thanks so much! I'll be making the bread later today and passing all the recipes on to my neighbor who's drowning in zucchini.

One thing with zucchini bread- bake it at least a day ahead of when you want to eat it, and wrap it in foil. It will get more moist as it sits.

One of our favorite recipes: Cook several slices of bacon. Pour off the excess grease, but don't clean the pan. Sautee sliced zucchini and sliced onion in the hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. After cooking a bit, add tomato wedges (or grape tomatoes) and cover. When the vegetables are all cooked, crumble the bacon on top and sprinkle with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Cover to let the cheese melt, then serve.

Of course, you could make it more healthy by skipping the bacon, but it's good!

Your recipe sounds similar to a recipe I have, but yours looks easier. Mine calls for chopped zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. Mix with some olive oil, bread crumbs, beaten egg and sharp cheese. Put in casserole and bake.

I made the bread last night and will come back tomorrow to let you know how much today's guests enjoyed it. (We're having our annual family cookout with the whole gang, already two of the tents for the kids have been pitched out back.) First impressions, it smelled absolutely delicious while it was cooking, looks very moist and is a huge loaf.

The frittata is probably next on my list, sounds like a great light supper. And if my neighbor keeps bringing these to me then I'll move on to the next, and the next ... Zucchini and tomato gardens are the easiest ways to meet new neighbors, aren't they? Thanks again, everyone!

This is the only time of year we have to lock the car at the store. If you don't, the back seat will be full of zucchini and cukes and tomatoes when you get back. The local amateur gardeners at the farmer's market just about have to pay you to take 'em.

Thanks for the recipe! I added bacon and swiss cheese and it was delicious.

Hmm. Now you guys have me wondering. About a gazillon years ago in the early 1970's, my now (VERY) ex-wife used to make a zucchini bread mixture in a blender. I remember her peeling the zucchini and slicing it into strips, then dropping it into a really liquid mess in the blender. Then she poured it into mini loaf pans and baked it. It tasted amazing.

Anyone happen to have a recipe like that? I'm suddenly feeling really nostalgic, and I don't want to try to track her down...

Agreed - everyone here LOVED your wife's recipe, the loaf was gone in no time and four people took the recipe home with them. Thanks again!
