Ingredients

  • Butter

  • 2 large zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick ribbons (1 1/2 lb.)

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 12 ounce uncooked ground chorizo

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1 ½ cup whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 ½ cup fresh corn off the cob

  • 1 ½ cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese (6 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place zucchini in a colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt. Let stand 20 minutes. Blot dry with paper towels.
