I am always on the lookout for new zucchini recipes this time of year. My family gets weary of the 5 or so recipes that I do have. So, I was very excited when my dad shared this recipe with me. I like this recipe because it is quick and easy. (It does take an hour to cook though, so plan ahead). Best of all, it is delicious. Plus, a recipe that includes both whole grains and zucchini is a winner in my book!

Place the bread cubes into a medium bowl and pour the melted butter and canola oil over the bread. Toss. Add the zucchini, onion, garlic salt and egg; mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish and sprinkle the cheese on evenly.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and bake for another 30 minutes.
