Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Prepare zucchini by slicing it and then lightly salting it on both sides. Place the salted zucchini slices on a layer of paper towels and let sit for 15 minutes before flipping and letting sit for another 15 minutes. This will remove the excess water from the zucchini before baking.
- In a baking dish place the prepared zucchini slices in rows one on top of another until the dish is filled. Set dish aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften. Then add garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan stirring until it begins to bubble.
- Add 2 ounces of Parmesan cheese and 4 ounces of Gruyere cheese to the heavy cream, onions, and garlic. Stir together until the cheese melts.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the zucchini spreading it evenly over the zucchini.
- Cover the casserole dish with foil and place in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil, top with the remaining Gruyere and Parmesan cheese and bake for 5 minutes more or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the zucchini is tender.
- Remove from oven and serve.
