Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the broiler.
- Step 2
Rinse the zucchini and squash and pat them dry. Trim off the ends but do not peel them. Slice them in thin slices crosswise.
- Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet and when hot add the zucchini, squash, onion, garlic and thyme. Saute over high heat, shaking the pan and tossing the vegetables gently. Add salt and pepper and cook for a total of 5 minutes.
- Step 4
Spoon the mixture into a casserole or baking dish. Smooth the top and arrange the sliced tomatoes in a circular pattern to cover the top. Add salt and pepper and sprinkle with the strips of basil leaves and the cheese. Drizzle the remaining oil over all.
- Step 5
Place under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes or until light brown.
This recipe is very good as a cold leftover.

Great summer dish. Prepped ahead of time. Sprinkled bottom of dish with breadcrumbs and more under sliced tomatoes. Baked 25 minutes at 350 since dish had been in the refrigerator. Yummy!
Wonderful summer recipe. So quick; delicious, and very attractive. I did this as a one-pot dish. Sauteed the zucchini and yellow squash (used 1 medium-sized; weight altogether came to 1 1/2 lbs) together with a red onion and the other ingredients in a cast-iron pan. Smoothed them out after sauteing and added tomatoes, basil, and cheese. Broiled about 5 minutes. Ah, summer! This would go with almost anything as a side.
absolutely wonderful. Not a lot of extra ingredients
I made it exactly as written. Absolutely delicious.
