Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    Fennel, 1 bulb
    Onion, 1 large
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    6 firm Italian tomato
    Summer squash (I use one zucchini & one yellow)
    Thyme, fresh, 2 Tblsp
    Gruyere Cheese, 3 oz, shredded very fine
    Salt, 1/2 tsp
    Pepper, 1/2 tsp

Tips

I have been making this for years and it is always a hit at pot lucks.


Directions

Preheat oven (or grill) to 325.
Slice fennel & onion very thin and saute in olive oil with salt & pepper until just starting to caramelize. While onions & fennel are cooking, slice tomatoes in quarter inch rounds and place in sieve to drain. Slice zucchini and yellow squash into 1/8 inch rounds.
Once onions & fennel are cooked, spread them over the bottom of a 9X13 glass or ceramic baking dish. Then layer rows of tomato slices, yellow squash slices, and zucchini slices over the onion/fennel base, sprinkle with thyme leaves and shredded Gruyere. Bake in 325 oven (or on grill) for 30-45 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is nice & brown.
