Recipe: Zucchini Feta Casserole

This vintage Pendle Hill recipe takes thin-sliced zucchini, blends it with garlic, onions, feta, and herbs, and tops it with cheddar to create a casserole that is simply delicious. Try it now, and remember it during the summer when garden vines are overflowing with zucchini.
