 "I thought this was really good. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I would likely not serve it to house guests. It is going in my repertoire for personal use. The next time I make this I am going to try using egg whites to cut down on the calories and cholesterol. For those who complained about too much heat, try taking out the pepper seeds.

Corn and Zucchini Au Gratin with Chipotle Peppers Preparation

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Oven Temp: 400F / 200C / Gas mark 6

1. Preheat oven.

2. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat; add onion and saute until soft.

3. Stir in corn, zucchini and chipotles and cook for 6-7 minutes stirring often.

4. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese and the eggs, season to taste.

5. Spread corn mixture into a greased casserole.

6. Crumble stale corn tortillas, and mix with remaining cheese.

7. Sprinkle cheese/tortilla mixture over top and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

This is a very tasty casserole that even kids will enjoy if you remove the Chipotles. You can add half the amount of chipotles to half of the mixture and cook in two separate casseroles. Baking time may be slighlty lees. This way you can enjoy the full flavour of the dish and get your kids to eat zucchini without them even knowing it.

    A little too spicy for some, but great flavor for those who like a bit of heat.

    Everyone thought it was great! Might make a little spicer next time.

    I omitted the chipotle and added 4 oz cream cheese and it was really good and creamy

    I didn't use the peppers or tortillas, and everyone loved this. My hubby wants me to make this for our next potluck. Thanks for a great way to use zucchini!

    This was so easy and yummy! I used jalapeños only because they were easier to find and Parmesan cheese by mistake and it still rocked! Will make this recipe all the time now.

    This was so yummy! Everyone loved it!! It was even good for leftovers! I used a small can of diced jalepenos instead. Just enough heat! My nephew didn't like the heat so we had to pick out the peppers in his.

    Delicious and simple. Added red peppers and used jalepenos instead. Omitted. The tortillas and added extra cheese. yum!

    This was a big hit at a pot luck I took it to. I only used half the chipotles called for (if I was making it for myself, I'd have used the whole amount!). Great side dish!

    Delicious!

    I loved this recipe and thought the spiciness was just right. I used pepper jack cheese. Yum!
    3 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 18 hours, 36 minutes ago
    Wow, this was delicious. Added one more pepper but I dont recommend that unless you can take the heat. I also cut back on the cheese. but boy was this good. You getting a medal!!

    I found this a bit bland

    This is very good. I added celery and cooked it with the onion and left out the stale tortillas.
