Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 3 medium-sized tomatoes
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini and tomatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, crumble the feta cheese and finely mince the garlic cloves. Mix these together with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Layer the sliced zucchini and tomatoes in the baking dish, alternating between the two. After completing one layer, spread half of the feta mixture across the top. Repeat with another layer of zucchini and tomatoes, then spread the remaining feta mixture on top.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well to ensure the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the arranged vegetables and feta, ensuring an even layer over the entire dish.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
