Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium zucchini sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 4 large ripe tomatoes sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 2 cups freshly grated Gruyere cheese Parmesan works great too
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs preferably homemade
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place the sliced zucchini on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, then pat dry.
  • Layer half the zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them.
  • Add a layer of tomato slices on top of the zucchini, then sprinkle with half the minced garlic, thyme, and 1 cup of cheese.
  • Repeat the layers with remaining vegetables, garlic, herbs, and cheese.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden brown.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
