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.

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sautéed zucchini with Gruyère turned out really oily. I think I might have used too much butter.

This is one of my favorite ways to cook zucchini. The cheese and garlic give it so much flavor. I also like to add a bit of diced red onion for some extra crunch.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with grilled chicken or fish.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The zucchini was mushy and the cheese was rubbery. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning, maybe some herbs or spices. But the texture was nice and the cheese was melted perfectly.

This sautéed zucchini with Gruyère was an absolute delight! The flavors of the zucchini, garlic, and cheese blended perfectly, and the texture was spot-on. I served it as a side dish to grilled salmon, and it was a hit with the whole family.
