Zucchini Squares

In a stunning, delicious switch up it was my husband who taught me this recipe! It was the first thing he ever cooked for me when we started dating and I fell as madly in love with them as I was falling for him. These zucchini squares are and forever will be a beloved family favorite that his mom made so often. They are ingenious because they are so simple to make but taste so complex.

Obviously the star of these zucchini squares was gorgeous, summer fresh zucchini. It was important to have it chopped really small so that it wouldn't make the squares fall apart. If the zucchini was too big the squares wouldn't have held together.

From there the batter came together so quickly! My mother-in-law's recipe was modified just a little based on what we had on hand, but my husband took a stand and said one ingredient was non-negotiable. We had to use Lawry's seasoned salt which was a blend of so many things in one. It gave the zucchini squares so much flavor!

I spread that batter evenly in my very well greased 9 x 13 pan. That was the ideal size to have fluffy zucchini squares without them getting too thick.

I could tell the zucchini squares were done when they just started to brown around the edges and become golden on top. After I let them cool for 20 minutes, I just cut them into 30 squares. That meant cutting 4 equal lines down the length of the pan and 5 equal lines down the width. That made them the perfect party size!

I sent these babies with my husband to a work meeting, but my ulterior motive was to be able to keep some for my lunch too. Oh my goodness, they were such a perfect bite! They had the silky, fluffy texture of a quiche and so much flavor. No wonder these have been a family favorite for so long. They went really quickly at my husband’s meeting and everyone asked for the recipe. Hope you all enjoy them too! xoxo
