This Paleo+ friendly Zucchini casserole is a new favorite comfort food with a creamy center and crunchy topping. Goes great as a side or main dish! I had 4 zucchinis that I needed to do something with before they went bad and was a little burned out on sautéed and grilled zucchini this week so I created this after reviewing a few other recipes. **Cheese isn’t true paleo, however I use cheese made from goat and sheep milk which is why I call it Paleo+.
