Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sweet onion peeled and diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 medium zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (divided)
- 1 cup Ritz crackers (or other buttery crackers)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add in the zucchini and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and flour. Mix and cook for 1 minute. Add in warm milk and stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
- Take the skillet off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheese and crushed crackers. Drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving. (This will help the sauce thicken.)
