Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 small head Cauliflower
• 1 small head Broccoli
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch rounds using a knife or mandoline.

Step 3

Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets, and blanch for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Arrange the zucchini slices, blanched cauliflower, and broccoli in layers, alternating between the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the vegetables, ensuring it coats all the layers.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
