Zucchini and Yellow Squash Au Gratin is a delightful take on the traditional French dish, Gratin. Originating from France, the term ‘au gratin’ refers to a culinary technique that involves topping a dish with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, cheese, or a combination of both. This dish takes advantage of the abundant summer squash varieties—zucchini and yellow squash—bringing out their natural sweetness and flavors. It’s a terrific way to introduce more vegetables into your diet without compromising on taste. Perfect as a comforting side or a stand-alone vegetarian dish, this gratin is sure to impress at any meal.
This Zucchini and Yellow Squash Au Gratin pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Serve it alongside a roasted chicken or grilled steak for a complete and hearty meal. If you are leaning towards a lighter fare, a crisp green salad or a simple tomato basil soup would complement the creamy and cheesy textures of the gratin. Additionally, a loaf of crusty French bread would be perfect for soaking up all the delicious juices.
