Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided, plus more for buttering the baking dish
- ½ lb yellow onions about 2 medium cut in half and sliced
- 1 lb zucchini 2 medium or 1 extra large, sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup panko or fresh bread crumbs
- ¾ cup grated gruyere cheese
- Minced fresh parsley or chives to garnish optional
Notes
- If using very large zucchini from the garden, they can sometimes have tough skin and large, hard seeds. In this case, it's best to peel and remove the seeds with a spoon before slicing.
- For a richer, more decadent zucchini gratin, swap out the milk for heavy cream and double the cheese.
- If baking in a convection oven, lower the heat to 375 degrees F or the top could brown too quickly.
- If the top of the gratin isn't browned enough by the time it's finished baking, pop it under the broiler for a minute or two. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
