Zucchini Souffle

I love to make vegetable recipes that my kids will actually eat! They don't like too many vegetables, but this one didn't seem to be a problem for them! So I was doing a happy dance after they ate this for dinner!

This was light but filling and I loved the cheddar cheese in this! I found this recipe *here* on Allrecipes.com. I tweaked it slightly to make it more flavorful. The cheddar cheese was my idea along with sauteing the onions with garlic and the zucchini. Seasoning it with salt and pepper  was a must! These tweaks gave it so much more flavor! I've made this Zucchini Souffle many times! I usually serve this with a salad and I'm done! A very easy, healthy, hearty meal!

Here is my version of this recipe...

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
