Born from the spirit of using every bit of summer’s bounty, this cheesy zucchini biscuit bake was a staple at our lake cabin breakfasts. With a flaky texture, sharp cheddar, and a hint of spice, it’s a heartwarming dish that pairs beautifully with eggs or stands proud on its own. It’s the kind of recipe that turns a simple morning into something worth remembering.
1½ cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
⅓ cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup milk
1 large egg
⅓ cup diced green onions
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Stir in zucchini, cheese, and green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk and egg. Pour into dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Spread into baking dish and smooth the top.
