Wonderfully rich and creamy with the best crisp/crusty topping! Plus, it's WAY HEALTHIER than the traditional potato gratin!!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 sprig fresh thyme
Pinch of nutmeg
2 pounds zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices*
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
9 tablespoons shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
½ cup FRENCH'S® Crispy Fried Onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie plate or coat with nonstick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, garlic, thyme and nutmeg over medium heat until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Add a layer of zucchini to the prepared baking dish in an overlapping pattern; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour 1/3 cup cream mixture over zucchini; sprinkle with 3 tablespoons Gruyere. Repeat with remaining zucchini slices, cream mixture and Gruyere to create 2 more layers.
Place into oven and bake until bubbly and browned, about 20-25 minutes.
Top with FRENCH'S® Crispy Fried Onions. Place into oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until onions are golden.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*2 pounds is equivalent to about 4 medium-sized zucchini.
