Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced

2 large ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prep the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Layer the Vegetables: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange a layer of zucchini slices, followed by a layer of tomato slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the oregano and thyme. Repeat the layering process until all vegetables are used.

        Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Mix in the breadcrumbs, remaining oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Combine well.

          Top the Gratin: Evenly spread the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the layered vegetables in the baking dish.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and serve warm.
