STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Saute both in a skillet with olive oil until softened (about five minutes).
STEP 2: While the onion and garlic are sauteing, thinly slice the rest of the vegetables.
STEP 3: Spray the inside of an 8x8 square or round baking dish with non-stick spray. Spread the softened onion and garlic in the bottom of the dish. Place the thinly sliced vegetables in the baking dish vertically, in an alternating pattern. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.
STEP 4: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, top with cheese and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
Step By Step Photos
This is what I started out with: tomato, potato, onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and garlic.
Dice the onion and get it cooking with the garlic and olive oil in a skillet.
Meanwhile, slice the veggies very thin. (I didn't dare try to use my mandolin again!)
When the onions are soft and translucent, place them in the bottom of a baking dish (8x8 or round pie size). I sprayed the inside of my dish to make sure nothing would stick... I have a hunch that rubbing it with butter would add amazing flavor but I didn't think of that till just now.
Alternate the vegetables in the dish. They don't have to be pretty. I started out with it looking nice and in a distinct pattern but then I realized that I had a bunch left over and just started jamming them in there... I didn't want to waste any precious veggies. It all worked out in the end. Oh yeah, sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and thyme. GENEROUSLY.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is nice and golden brown. ENJOY!
