Cheesy Tomato Eggplant Zucchini Gratin

Gratin

Our new Tomato Eggplant Zucchini Gratin is a perfect vegetable side dish for any occasion! It’s great for a holiday feast, or a weeknight dinner.

Gratin is a common French technique. Usually cooked in a shallow dish, breadcrumbs or cheese are used on the top to create a crunchy crust. We’re most familiar with a potato gratin, but this version is healthier!

Tomato, Eggplant, and Zucchini

This recipe starts with prepping your veggies. You’ll need tomato, eggplant, and zucchini. Cut them all into thin slices, and try to make them equal. We’re looking for 1/4 of an inch or so. It takes some time, but it’s worth it!

Once you have all your slices, arrange them in a baking dish, alternating tomato/eggplant/zucchini. It creates a cool red/purple/green pattern. If you’re using a circular dish, like we did, you can arrange the veggies in a circle. If it’s square or rectangular, arranging them in rows is beautiful!

Flavor

All three of these veggies are delicious, but they still need a little of help. So we’re starting with our Fresh Churned Garlic Butter, and we’re brushing it liberally over the veggies. It adds amazing flavor. Some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper helps even more! Some Parmesan cheese goes on top, then it bakes!

Enjoy!
