This was my first attempt at a gratin and I think it turned out nicely! It's a healthy, cheesy vegetable casserole.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese

  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 2 zucchini, sliced

  • 1 yellow squash, sliced

  • 2 shallots, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup light cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Mix Gruyere cheese and panko bread crumbs together in a bowl.

  3. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add zucchini, yellow squash, shallots, and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in basil, rosemary, salt, and black pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Mix flour into the skillet. Pour in cream in a steady stream and stir until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in half the cheese mixture. Remove from heat.

  5. Pour zucchini mixture into a baking dish. Top with remaining cheese mixture.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use green or yellow squash, or both.
