Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 pounds zucchini, ends trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick coins
- Salt
- 4 (12 by 18-inch) pieces aluminum foil
- 2 cups shredded aged Cheddar
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic (from about 4 medium cloves)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 16 thyme sprigs
Directions
Heat grill to 350 degrees F (medium heat) and oil well.
Place zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl, salt well, toss to coat, and set aside to let drain, at least 5 minutes.
When ready to cook, oil 1 piece of aluminum foil on 1 side. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in the middle of the foil to form a rectangle, shingle 1/4 of the zucchini over cheese (about 3 rows of 8 zucchini coins). Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shallots and 1 teaspoon of garlic evenly over top, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with another 1/4 cup cheese, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, and top with 4 sprigs of thyme. Enclose foil tightly to form a packet and repeat to make 4 packets.
Place the packets on the grill and cook until zucchini is soft and cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes total.

I really liked this recipe. We have such an abundance of zucchini in the garden this summer and I am always looking for more ways to use it up. I didnt end up grilling it but I did cook it in foil in the oven @ 350?. I used olive oil spray on the foil first so the cheese wouldn't stick and it didn't. I would have given it 5 stars but my husband thought there was too much thyme (not his favorite herb. I would certainly make this again.

I made this for Father's Day dinner. It was a hit! Even my picky brother liked it! I also added some sliced tomatoes, used vidalia onion in place of the shallots. I had some new garlic & chive cheddar cheese I bought at the local farmers market I used in place of the sharp cheddar. I layered the zucchini, onion, tomato, crushed garlic and cheese, then I baked it in a convection oven for 25 minutes at 300 degrees, then under the broiler for 5 minutes to brown the cheese on top. YUMMMMM,it was a hit!!!

Amazingly good and easy. I didn't have the fresh Thyme or shallots instead used Scallions (Green Onions and sprinkled Goya Adobo (red cap. Served it with grilled pork and white rice my 16 yrs old son ate so much Zucchini and rice he never touched the pork. Now we can't wait for the garden to start coming in with all the fresh zucchini
