Roasted Veggie Gratin

This is great as a main course vegetarian dish or side dish. Easy to make - few ingredients - keeping it simple.

Ingredients:
2 Tomatoes
2 Zucchini Squash
2 Yellow Squash
Eggplant (optional)
1 Large Red Onion
1/4 Cup EVOO
1 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
1/4 Cup Parmesan or Romano Cheese
1 tsp Dry Oregano
Salt & Pepper
2 Cloves Minced Garlic




Place sliced onion, whole zucchini and whole yellow squash on cookie sheet. Lightly coat with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Mix bread crumbs, cheese, oregano, salt & pepper and garlic while veggies are baking.

Lightly oil the sides and bottom of a 9" x 9" baking dish. Let veggies cool enough to handle. Slice the tomatoes, zucchini and squash approximately 1/4" thick. Alternate the veggies standing them in the pan. Pour the oil evenly over the veggies. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.





Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until "crispened up".


Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Voila!
