    I am addicted to this recipe - I crave it always!! The nutmeg and salt really bring out all the great flavors of the zucchini and cheese. I like to pop in some sliced red pepper for some color and zing. You go Ina!

    I thought this dish was very tasty! It wasn't too salty for my taste, but I thought the zucchini was too mushy. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter time. I also didn't think it needed a full 20 minutes in the oven. Mine was bubbling after 10-15 minutes. I only used 2 onions instead of 3, and I thought that was plenty.

    I should have read the reviews before making because it was SALTY, but otherwise delicious. I think half the salt would do - and I used olive oil, not butter for the saute step and unsalted butter in the topping.

    Excellent!! I used about 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and found it to be perfect and I love salt. This dish is so tasty and smelled so good when baking. Will definitely make again!

    I thought this was good. My husband LOVED it. I found it a bit too salty. I did use unsalted butter and less salt than called for, but it was still pretty salty. I also used about half the onion called for because that's what I had, but it had plenty of onion, in my opinion. I cooked the onions down a lot (even browned them in spite of being told not to : Next time, I'm going to do a mix of zucchini and yellow squash. I'm going to try the same process with some different veggies, too. Quite good.

    This is absolutely delicious! I wanted to do something different for a New Year's Eve party, and it turned out great! I only had two large yellow onions so just used those, and substituted panko for the bread crumbs only because I like the crunch. Everything else I followed to the letter. Thanks, Ina, this is a keeper!

    Really good but didn't care for the breadcrumbs that much over the gratin but overall it was great.

    This recipe is fantastic. I think the key is cooking the onions really slowly. For those who don't love onions, I think that cooking them over low-medium heat for about 20 minutes really mellows out the flavor.

    I have made this dish several times as is and then tried several variations such as adding potatoes instead of zucchini, and sometime zucchini and tomatoes. Also, now I make all my cheesy dishes with gruyere chesse - it really adds flavor and elegance to any dish.
