Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 3/4 cup), divided
2 tablespoons pure olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 pounds fresh zucchini, roughly chopped
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine panko and 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano in a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add flour, and stir to combine. (Mixture will be dry.) Gently stir in zucchini. Add milk, rice, thyme, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and stir to combine. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. (Or, you can start with a large ovenproof skillet and then bake the gratin in it instead of in a baking dish.)
  • Bake in preheated oven until set and liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove gratin from oven. Increase oven temperature to broil with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Sprinkle top of gratin with panko-cheese mixture, and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this dish. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the cheese topping was delicious. I would definitely make this again.

This was a great recipe! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. The zucchini was tender and flavorful, and the cheese topping was perfectly melted. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The zucchini was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. The cheese topping was perfectly melted and gooey. I would definitely make this again.
