Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Slice the zucchini and tomatoes into even, thin rounds (approximately 1/4 inch thick). Set them aside.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Layer the zucchini and tomato slices in the dish, alternating them to create a beautiful pattern. Slightly overlap the slices for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 7
Sprinkle the layers with the remaining salt, black pepper, and fresh basil leaves, tearing the basil into smaller pieces if necessary.
Step 8
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables.
Step 9
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the vegetables.
Step 10
Bake the tian in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve the Tian de Courgettes et de Tomates warm as a side dish or a light main course with crusty bread.
