Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Onion
6 whole Zucchinis, Sliced Into Bite-sized Rounds
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Flour
3/4 cups Light Half-and-Half
1/4 cups Light Buttermilk
3/4 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3/4 cups Breadcrumbs
1 Tablespoon Butter

Directions

1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Slice the onion and add the slices into the skillet with the olive oil and butter; cook onions until softened about 5 minutes. Then add the sliced zucchini into the skillet and continue cooking until they begin to soften-about 5 minutes. Now add the salt and pepper and mix well. Next add flour and mix thoroughly. The final step of this phase is to add the half-and-half and the buttermilk (you can certainly make this healthier and use skim milk) stirring thoroughly to create a roux like sauce. While the sauce is thickening, preheat oven to 350 F.

Transfer the vegetable mixture into a baking dish (I used a large oval dish) and cover with the sharp cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. Put dabs of butter on the top and bake for 30 minutes at 350 F and serve.
