Sure, here is a vegetarian recipe you can make tonight which includes zucchini and cheddar cheese:

Zucchini and Cheddar Cheese Gratin

Ingredients:

- 4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced zucchinis, heavy cream, grated cheddar cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve hot. Enjoy!

Is it okay to replace the olive oil with sunflower oil?
user
Yes, sunflower oil can be used as a substitute for olive oil in this recipe. Olive oil provides some flavor to the dish with its grassy notes, but sunflower oil will work fine as a neutral-tasting vegetable oil. It may result in a slightly different flavor, but the gratin should turn out similarly in terms of texture and cheese melt. You can also use other neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil as an alternative to olive oil in this recipe.
