Zucchini Tomato Gratin
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components before commencing the cooking process.
2
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
3
Move the oven's rack to its highest position, allowing for optimal air circulation around the dish.
4
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and carefully place zucchini slices into the skillet in an orderly fashion. If there isn't enough space, cook them in batches to maintain even cooking.
5
Add minced garlic pieces over the zucchini slices and continue cooking until they achieve a golden brown hue on both sides, taking approximately 8 minutes per side.
6
Remove the skillet from heat.
7
Arrange zucchini slices in a 9x12-inch glass baking dish, layering them with mozzarella cheese and tomato slices in an alternating pattern. Ensure the slices overlap each other neatly, forming a visually appealing row.
8
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and chopped basil over the dish, seasoning it to your liking with a pinch of salt and pepper.
9
Place the prepared dish in the preheated oven, allowing it to bake until the cheese is melted and brown, and the dish is bubbling with hot air.
