Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Make sure your cream cheese is quite soft before trying to mix it. You can soften it in the microwave in 20-second bursts (make sure to remove the foil wrapper) to help you get started.
- When cutting zucchini, I cut it all around the center core of the seeds. I discard the seeds. They're watery, fibrous, and not so tasty. You can slice the zucchini and then easily cut away the seedy core.
- Chop the sundried tomato very small, so the flavor spreads throughout.
- If your casserole starts to get too brown, cover the top lightly with foil.
