Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 -5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for topping (start with 3, then see how much more you want to put in)
2 yellow onions, cut in 1/2 and sliced
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
2 lbs zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 4 zucchini)
1 -2 teaspoon kosher salt (or sea salt to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup hot milk
3/4-1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or Italian breadcrumbs)
3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese (or Gouda, cheddar, Swiss or Parmesan)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch saute pan and cook the onions over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until tender but not browned. If using garlic, add the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Add the zucchini and cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until just tender.
  • Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the hot milk and cook over low heat for a few more minutes, until it makes a sauce.
  • Pour the mixture into an 8"x10" baking dish.
  • Combine the bread crumbs and cheese and sprinkle on top of the zucchini mixture. Dot with 1 tablespoon of the extra butter cut into small bits.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned. Enjoy!
