Ingredients

3 1/2 Tbs. butter divided
2 large shallots thinly sliced (or half of a small sweet yellow onion)
2 garlic cloves minced
3 medium-large green zucchini thinly sliced (¼ inch) (or you can do 6 zucchini or 6 summer squash)
3 medium-large yellow summer squash/zucchini thinly sliced (¼ inch)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 cup Italian blend cheese shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking dish (13x9) with cooking spray and set aside.
Melt 2 Tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add shallots and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, until just starting to turn translucent. Garlic starts to brown and shallots become fragrant.
Add zucchini and squash and cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly softened (but not cooked through.)
Add salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
Add in heavy cream, cook for 1 minute, stirring gently.
Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Italian cheese blend. Cube remaining 1 ½ tbs butter thinly and sprinkle on top of cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
