01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large pot, toss in the zucchini and squash, cover them with water, and let them boil for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat. Once tender, drain well and gently press the veggies between paper towels to soak up any extra moisture.

Step 2
While that’s happening, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and sauté the onion for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another two minutes until everything is soft and fragrant. Stir in the zucchini and squash, then mix in both types of corn, the Cheddar, half of the Asiago, half the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture into your prepared dish.

Step 3
Next, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and stir in the rest of the breadcrumbs and Asiago cheese. Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the casserole.

Step 4
Pop it in the oven and bake until the top is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbly and melted, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it cool a bit before serving so it sets nicely.
