Pour mixture into the baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes.
Hey Lenna! The most common culprit for excess water is the zucchini, so we like to salt it beforehand to prevent that water seeping out into the dish! Here’s how: Sprinkle zucchini with salt, only a pinch or two. Drain in a colander with a dish beneath. Leave for 1 hour, then squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands.
A quicker method is to use a cheesecloth if you have one, and wrap your zucchini in it then squeeze that excess liquid out. Hopefully this should solve the excess water issue in your bake, let us know how you go! Happy cooking! xx The IQS Team
