Ingredients

Good olive oil
2 large yellow onions, cut in half and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound medium round potatoes, unpeeled
3/4 pound zucchini
1 1/4 pounds medium tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs
2 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Brush a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish with olive oil. In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.

Slice the potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes in 1/4-inch thick slices. Layer them alternately in the dish on top of the onions, fitting them tightly, making only 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme leaves, and thyme sprigs and drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover the dish, remove the thyme sprigs, sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake for another 30 minutes until browned. Serve warm.

Beautiful Dish!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As usual, I made this for our weekly "Dinner With the Boys", where Hubby and I invite 3-5 friends up on a weekday for dinner.... Anyway, I made this in celebration of summer and great fresh veggies. It was a hit and was so beautiful to look at. Not only did it taste delicious, but it added such a kick of color to the buffet table. I just adore Ina's simplicity with food. It really is all about making the vegetable taste MORE like the actual vegetable. It seems obvious, but there's a fine line. She's always spot-on.Read more

Delicious, Healthy and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the most delicious recipe! I made a couple of (minor) changes because I didn't have all the exact ingredients. ... First, I only had one tomato in the house, so I used it along with a can of canned whole tomatoes that I halved and layered in the dish. Obviously, the fresh tomatoes were better, but it certainly didn't ruin the dish either! Also, I didn't have any gruyere, so I used a combination of whatever I had: pecorino, parmigiano reggiano, and provolone and it still tasted delicious. The potatoes came out a perfect texture and my family just devoured it. You must try this dish!Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is fabulous. The potatoes are the key ingredient, make sure they are beautiful, fresh and that will insure that... they cook evenly with the vegetables. the Fresher the Ingredients makes the dish shine. Read more
