Zucchini Gratin with Yellow Squash is a luscious creamy cheesy medley of zucchini, yellow squash, onions, and garlic. It is quick and easy to prepare. It will make a summer squash lover out of you!
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 :
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- 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.
- 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.
