Zucchini Gratin

[ckreef]

 

Above pictures are a scaled down version for 2 people. 

 

 

This is a really good recipe. Easy and almost impossible to screw it up. 

 

Serves 4 to 6 people. 

Easily scaled down for 2 to 3 people. 

 

2 pounds fresh zucchini (3-4 medium zucchini), cut into 1/8 inch rounds. 

1/3 cup thin sliced (or diced) sweet onion. 

2 Tbsp Mild olive oil. 

1 tsp herbes de Provence

1 tsp kosher salt 

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper 

1 cup fresh grated Gruyere cheese (or any fresh grated hard cheese) 

 

Combine the above ingredients in a bowl. Oil a ceramic baking dish and add zucchini mixture. 

 

4-6 md plum tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes) cut into 1/4" rounds 

 

Lay the tomato slices overlapping to mostly cover the zucchini. Bake uncovered, indirect at 400* for about 40 minutes until top is bubbling lightly and tomatoes are slightly charred. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. 

 

Note: this dish will soak up a lot of smoke flavor so try and burn a clean fire (unless you want it Smokey). I warned you.

That's all from the garden ckreef ?  No matter, but a pic with cheese melted and ooozing all around was somehow left out. Still looks good

I have a remote location garden. It's located in Publix - LOL The cheese is in there. Didn't really take the pictures with a recipe post in mind.

Yep, I share your garden! It works because they don't allow deer to shop there...
