How to Make Easy Cheesy Zucchini Gratin
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, nutmeg, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the drained zucchini to the cheese sauce and stir gently to coat.
- Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the bread crumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the gratin is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
