I make a diet vegetable kugel most weeks containing steamed vegetables, egg whites and spices. I snack on it when I get the nibbles on Friday afternoon or Shabbos.
The top comes out nice and brown. The bottom is usually very wet. I enjoy it anyway but would really enjoy it more if I could get the bottom to have a good texture as well.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

give it some time on the bottom rack of the oven. do you line the pan with parchment paper or anything? that would also contribute to the wetness.

Thanks. I do not line the pan. I use a disposable tin and grease it with Pam spray.

use a real pan, not disposable.

the veggies might have too much water in them? maybe squeeze them in a paper towel first or something?

A thin layer of breadcrumbs on bottom of the pan.

I agree that there is still too much liquid in the veggies. I make a diet crustless spinach quiche and I squeeze a LOT of water from the spinach.

You could also either roast or sauté the veggies before adding. You can sauté veggies in a tiny bit of olive oil and the moisture comes out more than if you steam. Roasting veggies is also a good way to get rid of the moisture in the veggies. Also, at least in my opinion, roasting veggies makes them more flavorful than just steaming without adding calories.
