Zucchini Corn and Cheese Casserole


I recently made this and man, it was better than I remember.  

1 pound zucchini
1/4 cup chopped onion
 2 T. butter, divided (1T. for cooking onions, 1T. melted for crumb mixture)
 2 eggs, beaten
 2 cups corn (about 3-4 fresh cobs) or 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
 4 ounces grated Swiss or cheddar cheese
 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping:
 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 T. melted butter
  1. Slice the zucchini 1 inch thick. Cook, covered, in salted water 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain and mash with a fork and drain again.
  3. Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender.
  4. Combine eggs, squash, onion, corn, grated cheese and salt.
  5. Put in a greased casserole.
  6. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan and 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle over squash.
  7. Place casserole on a baking sheet and bake 350 degrees or until knife comes out clean.
  8. Bake 40 minutes or until firm in the center.
