My wife's co-worker gave us this recipe who aren't veggie eaters but they said this was magnificent. It fits right in with Keto or low carb diets. It is very rich and cheesy. It's simple to make and takes just a few minutes to throw together. Give it a try I'm sure it will bring a smile to your face.
Zucchini and Yellow Squash Au Gratin
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 parmesan
1 cup shredded smoked gouda
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Melt butter in oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges start to brown approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 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.
3. 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.
