eat your veggies - tomato & zucchini gratin

Brett and I both want to eat a bit healthier and that included eating more vegetables. One of our favorite veggie dished is the following Tomato & Zucchini Gratin.


INGREDIENTS
An onion
a couple of cloves of garlic
Roma tomatoes
A few zucchini/squash
Grated cheese - such as Parmesan or Romano
Some olive oil
Breadcrumbs

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°
1. Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a bit of olive oil.
Chop or thinly slice the garlic and sauté with the onions.
2. While the onions are cooking, slice the tomatoes and zucchini super thin. I love my mandoline, which make this so easy.
3. In a greased baking dish, layer half the zucchini, the onion mix and the tomatoes.
Sprinkle some cheese and a little salt and pepper, and then add the second layer of all.
Top with some more cheese, salt, and pepper.
Put a fine layer of breadcrumbs over the top and drizzle a little olive oil over.
4. Cover and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Uncover and bake 10 more minutes.
Let the gratin cool for about 30 minutes and then enjoy.

We like the gratin best when it is only warm and I know that some people prefer it cold.
