This delicious and healthy casserole is made with zucchini sliced lengthwise, drizzled with heavy cream, and layered in a baking dish with grated Italian mozzarella, fontina, and pecorino romano cheeses, along with breadcrumbs. The final layer of breadcrumbs is topped with pieces of butter and, when baked in the oven, develops a crispy, golden crust, revealing a tender, chewy casserole that's both filling and light. The blend of cheeses imbues it with a complex, creamy flavor.
