(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 5 medium zucchini, cut crosswise into 1" thick slices
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup grated fontina
  • 6 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano
  • 1 cup plain dried bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with foil. Coat the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with the oil. Arrange enough of the zucchini slices over the bottom of the dish in a single layer to cover. Sprinkle with one third of the salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 cup of the heavy cream over the zucchini and sprinkle with 1/3 cup each of mozzarella and fontina.

  2. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of Pecorino Romano, then with 1/3 cup of bread crumbs. Repeat layering the ingredients two more times. Place the baking dish on the baking sheet and bake uncovered until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 40 minutes. Serve immediately.
