Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Vidalia onion, diced
- 6 roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 zucchini, cut into ¼ inch round slices
- ¼ cup fresh thyme leaves, minced

- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat oil in a sauté pan. Cook onions, garlic and tomatoes in sauté pan until onions are transparent.
- Divide tomato mixture into 8 small ramekins.
- Place squash slices alternating in the ramekins over the tomato mixture.
- In a bowl, whisk together salt, butter, thyme, heavy cream and cheese.
