Summer Veggie Casserole

Summer Veggie Casserole is a delicious way to use all those colorful summer vegetables popping up in the produce section, and everyone can enjoy because the topping is gluten-free

Disclosure: I received free samples of Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic from Dare Foods Incorporated mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Dare Foods Incorporated and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

Remember how I talked about some gluten-free crackers I received recently to create recipes for?

And how I ate them all before I even got a chance to create a recipe because they're so delish...

Well, luckily, I found them at Costco so I could create some recipes. Score!

After making a dessert recipe using the Breton Gluten-free Original with Flax crackers, I decided I'd use the Breton Gluten-free Herb and Garlic Crackers.

I generally buy all my vegetables when they are on sale because it means that they are in season. Oh and they save me money, but I buy them seasonally because that's when veggies taste their best.

Since summer is just around the corner, zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes are filling the produce section of the grocery store.

I decided that I wanted to make a veggie casserole with all those seasonal veggies.

I feel like all casseroles must include a topping. Topping is the best part of a casserole to me. And I bet if I couldn't have gluten, I'd feel really really sad about missing out on topping.

Thankfully, these buttery, delicious Breton Gluten-free crackers are an incredible solution for topping your casserole if you are avoiding gluten in your diet. Or even if you're not.

The Breton Gluten-free Herb and Garlic Crackers are perfect. They have lots of delicious flavor so you really don't have to add much to your casserole.

Just veggies, cheese, herbs, and cracker topping.

Summer veggie perfection.
