Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 small zucchini and/or summer squash (slender ones, about 6 inches long), halved lengthwise
Salt and pepper
Pepper
Grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or something similar with an ovenproof handle. Add the garlic and sauté over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds, being careful to let the garlic brown.
  • Place the zucchini halves facedown in the garlic butter and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the zucchini are just slightly tender when poked with a fork.
  • Turn the zucchini over, and sprinkle generously with parmesan. (Don't worry if the parmesan spills into the pan. It will melt into additional, delicious crust.) Cook for just a minute or two longer, then transfer the skillet to the broiler.
  • Broil for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve hot, and don't forget to scrape up the spilled parmesan from the bottom of the pan.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, and it gave the crust a nice crunch.
