Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add squash and zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts completely. Remove skillet from heat.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Gruyère cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  7. Pour the cream mixture over the vegetable mixture in the skillet and stir gently to combine everything well.
  8. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this warm dish with your friends.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests adding a dash of cayenne pepper if you like a little warmth in your bake.
  • Feel free to substitute the Gruyère with sharp white cheddar for a tangier flavor.
  • This casserole tastes best when made with vegetables you picked fresh.
