Zucchini and Yellow Squash Au Gratin
Tender pieces of zucchini and yellow squash in a mouthwatering creamy cheese sauce. This delectable easy skillet vegetable will quickly become one of your family favorites.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion thinly sliced
1 small zucchini sliced in rounds 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick please see notes
1 small yellow squash sliced in rounds 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick please see notes
2 large cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 cup shredded smoked gouda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Melt butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges start to brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add cream and simmer until bubbly and starting to thicken. Slowly stir in parmesan. Add zucchini and yellow squash and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle with smoked gouda and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Notes
The zucchini that I used were on the smaller side. Some of the late summer zucchini I see coming in are much larger. For those, I would double the cream and the Parmesan. The large zucchini are sometimes a little tougher and may require additional simmering and/or baking time.
