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.
