Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Sautéed Summer Squash with Red Pepper and Onion
2 large or extra-large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 cup cooked Arborio or Carnaroli rice (1/2 cup raw)
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup, tightly packed)
1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan (1/4 cup, tightly packed)

Steps:

  • Make the sautéed summer squash, season it well and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Oil a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Stir in the rice, thyme, the sautéed squash and the cheeses. Scrape into the baking dish.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned on the top and edges. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving, or allow to cool. The gratin is good hot, warm, or room temperature.

The gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used zucchini and yellow squash from my garden and it was delicious. I will definitely make this again!

I followed the recipe exactly and the gratin turned out great! The squash was tender and flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. I served it with a side salad and it was a perfect summer meal.
