ZUCCHINI GRATIN WITH YELLOW SQUASH

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 small zucchini sliced in rounds 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (please see notes)
  • 1 small yellow squash sliced in rounds 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (please see notes)
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 cup shredded smoked gouda

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Melt butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges start to brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add cream and simmer until bubbly and starting to thicken. Slowly stir in parmesan. Add zucchini and yellow squash and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with smoked gouda and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.

NOTES

The zucchini that I used were on the smaller side. Some of the late summer zucchini I see coming in are much larger. For those, I would double the cream and the Parmesan. The large zucchini are sometimes a little tougher and may require additional simmering and/or baking time.
