Zucchini Au Gratin


I made this as a side the other night and just threw it together, literally! No recipe! I love zucchini and of course cheese so I figured I would give it a go. Serve it as a side with your favorite meat, or you could bring it to a pot luck. Makes a great covered dish!

What you'll need:

3-4 Nice sized Zucchini
1 Small Onion
2 Tablespoons Butter
Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, whatever)
Flour
Milk
Cheddar Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Panko Bread Crumbs (I used the Italian herb flavored ones, but any will do.)


1. Finely dice the Onions and Slice the Zucchini into fairly thin slices but not too thin. Melt the Butter in a skillet and cook the Onions and Zucchini for a few. I don't like them to be too soft, cause we will still be baking them. Season this mixture with a little Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder.

2. When the vegetables are semi-cooked add 2 tablespoons of Flour, and 3/4 cup of hot milk directly to them and stir. Let this cook for five minutes or so and a sauce should develop. Add a handful of Cheddar and Parmesan at this time, stir.

3. Transfer to a baking dish, top with Panko. Enough to cover the top and sprinkle another handful of Parmesan on top. Bake at 350 for 15-20 or until the top is bubbly and crusty.

Enjoy!
