A more decadent way to get in a serving of veggies. Or a slightly healthier and faster version of potatoes au gratin. Whichever way you want to look at it, it's still delicious!

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8" baking pan and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Wash the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them into coins about 1/4" thick. Place them into a bowl and season them with 1/4 tsp each salt, pepper and oregano. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over med-high heat. Once it's melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Then pour in the cream (or milk) and whisk in the cornstarch, the onion powder and 1/4 tsp each of salt, pepper and chives. Allow this to come to a simmer and simmer until thickened...just about 2-3 minutes. Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Lay out the squash in the prepared baking pan. Pour the cream mixture over the top. Sprinkle the gouda evenly over the top.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the squash is fork tender. Switch your oven to broil and let the cheese brown for 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 5 or so minutes, then serve.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
