A simple and flavorful baked courgette tomato gratin featuring layers of fresh courgettes and tomatoes topped with melted cheese and olive oil, creating a tender, golden crusted vegetable dish perfect as a side or light main.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium courgettes, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated cheese (such as Gruyère or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and thinly slice the courgettes and tomatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Layer Vegetables: In a baking dish, arrange a layer of courgette slices followed by a layer of tomato slices. Repeat layers until all vegetables are used, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
  3. Top with Cheese and Olive Oil: Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the layered vegetables. Drizzle olive oil over the cheese to help it brown nicely during baking.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the gratin to set slightly.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of cheeses like Parmesan and mozzarella for extra flavor.
  • Season layers with herbs such as thyme or basil for an aromatic touch.
  • Ensure vegetables are sliced thinly and uniformly for even cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a vegetarian main with crusty bread.
  • Adjust baking time depending on the oven and thickness of vegetables; check tenderness with a fork.
