I think it was on Sat. June 5th that I caught the WQED Cooks
show on WQED (where else?). I came in in the middle of Chris
Fennimore preparing this dish so I didn't get the whole recipe.
I looked on the website but it is not posted there. I've checked
a couple of time thinking that they might not have gotten around
to it yet but no luck.

What he did was layer croutons on the bottom of an 9"x13"
baking dish. Then he made a layer of thinly sliced zucchini.
Then he added a layer of sausage. I missed what he put in with
the sausage. That's mainly what I'm curious about. Then he
added a layer of sliced fresh mozzarella (I think the was the order)
and then sprinkled that with shredded Parmesan or Romane (can't
remember which). Then another layer of zucchini and another
layer of the croutons. (I think he made them himself as he mentioned
everything being made from scratch.) Then more shredded cheese
and dabs of butter. Then he baked it.

I don't suppose anyone saw this show and happened to copy down
the recipe?

Oh, well, it was worth a shot. I can surely make up my own version
of this but I'd sure like to know what was in the sausage layer.

Thanks,
Kate

Kate, if you ever find the complete recipe please post it here!
Sounds like something I might like too. I'm guessing that if the
sausage layer doesn't have tomato in it, then there's probably some
ricotta.

WQED has a "Chris Cooks" section online, and also recipes - but I
didn't see this one when I searched for "zucchini." Maybe it isn't up
yet.

OTOH, this casserole sounds an awful lot like a zucchini/crouton
(using herbed Pepperidge Farm croutons)/cheese/carrot (maybe)
casserole that was popular around here a couple years ago.... I bet
you could find it searching with those ingredients in a general recipe
site.

Here's one:

Also, the casserole I was thinking of used chicken - but you could
substitute sausage (or any other meat) - search for "recipes zucchini
croutons cheese chicken" and lots will pop up.
