Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lb. (3-4) zucchini, sliced into ¼ inch pieces
1 large bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
1 tbsp (½ oz) unsalted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tbsp (2 oz) unsalted butter
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
2½ cups milk (I used 2%), room temperature
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs, divided
1 cup (2 ½ oz) Gruyère cheese, shredded
1 tbsp (½ oz) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • For the vegetables. Part 1: Place the sliced zucchini in a large bowl and generously toss with salt. Set aside to allow the salt to draw out liquid from the zucchini.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the onion and bell pepper along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sautéed until the onions begin to lightly brown and soften, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • For the white sauce. In a medium saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and then, using a whisk, stir in the flour until it is incorporated into the butter. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Then slowly add in the milk, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps from forming. Continuously whisk until the sauce thickens into a creamy, smooth sauce *(see first note). Finally, whisk in the nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • For the vegetables. Part 2: Place the zucchini slices on a clean kitchen towel (or thick paper towels) and pat to dry.
  • Assemble the gratin. In an 9x13 casserole dish, start by layering the ingredients in this order: one-third of the zucchini slices, a quarter cup of panko, half of the onion and pepper mixture, and half of the white sauce. Repeat this order again and then top with the remaining one-third of the zucchini slices.
  • For the topping.Combine together the remaining half cup of panko with the Gruyère and sprinkle evenly over the zucchini casserole. Finish by doting the top with small pieces of butter.
  • Bake time. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden-brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Best served immediately.

SAUTéED ZUCCHINI WITH GRUYERE



Sautéed Zucchini With Gruyere image

Gruyere Swiss cheese adds a wonderful nutty sophistication to this simple dish. Gruyere is on the expensive side, but you don't end up needing as much because the flavor is more concentrated. You can substitute another Swiss cheese if you like. The trick to keeping the zucchini from getting soggy and overcooked, is to sauté it quickly in a rather hot pan.

Provided by CookingONTheSide

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb zucchini, sliced (about 4 small zucchini or 1 large, sliced into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 ounces gruyere swiss cheese, sliced thin (can substitute other Swiss)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large sauté pan on fairly high heat. (An anodized aluminum pan works well for this purpose because it is stick resistant yet can handle high heat.).
  • Coat the bottom of the pan with the oil, adding more if needed.
  • When the pan is hot, add the zucchini and onions.
  • Spread out along the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook quickly on high heat, stirring frequently, until all zucchini pieces are a little browned at least on one side (about 2 minutes).
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper while cooking.
  • Halfway through the cooking, add the garlic and the herbs.
  • If there is any sticking to the pan, add a little more oil.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place slices of cheese over the zucchini in a single layer.
  • Cover the pan. Let sit for a few minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Remove the zucchini to a serving dish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure your zucchini gratin is evenly cooked, slice the zucchini thinly and arrange the slices in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Use a combination of Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses for a rich and flavorful gratin. You can also add other cheeses, such as cheddar or goat cheese, to taste.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or panko crumbs on top of the gratin before baking.
  • Bake the gratin until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the zucchini slices.
  • Serve the gratin immediately, garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Zucchini gratin is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, zucchini gratin is a great choice.
