Easy Zucchini Au Gratin

zucchini

butter

garlic

heavy whipping cream

oz cream cheese

cheddar cheese

parmesan reggiano cheese

onion powder

salt and pepper

mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place the sliced zucchini on a flat surface with towels or paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the zucchini with salt.

Allow the zucchini to sit for 30 minutes. This will sweat out the excess moisture of the zucchini. Skipping this step will result in a watery dish. After the 30 minutes. Blot and wring out any excess moisture.

While the zucchini rests, prepare the filling for the dish. Heat a saucepan on medium heat and add the butter.

When melted, add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Add in the cream cheese, whipping cream, Parmesan reggiano, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir. Add in the onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Taste the sauce repeatedly and adjust the flavor to taste as needed.

Stir continuously until the cheese has melted.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

Arrange the zucchini in rows throughout a 9x13 baking dish. Drizzle the cheese sauce throughout.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar and the mozzarella throughout the pan.

Bake (uncovered) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. If you like a crisp top, a couple of minutes before the dish has finished baking, turn on the Broil function on the oven. Broil for 1-3 minutes until the top has crisped.

Cool before serving.
