Most wonderful zucchini dish

I remember as a child my mom made this dish as a light dinner and served it with salad. I am sure she made it at the height of zucchini season when it was summery and we would eat dinner at our picnic table in the yard. She stopped making it when we moved to a home with a yard too small to grow squash. I asked about it as an adult and she never told  me where the recipe came from which surprised me because I think the dish was always emptied when she made it. I finally rediscovered it in my mom's copy of The Jewish American Cookbook. They call it Zucchini with Cheese. In my version I used a blend of cheeses where their recipe called for American Cheese. I know my mom would not have used American Cheese but whatever good quality Cheese  she had on hand. I urge you to try this version.  Cheesy Zucchini Casserole.............. 4 servings 3 small Zucchini 2/3 cup grated cheese (harvarti or sharp cheddar mix) 1/4 cup milk 1 egg well beaten 3 tablespoons butter Preheat oven to
