Courgette Gratin

Tender courgettes baked beneath a savory garlic cream sauce and crisp golden cheese topping. This classic French-style gratin is substantial enough for a light main dish and elegant enough for a dinner party.

Come preparare

1
Heat the oven to 200°C. Grease a shallow 28 cm gratin dish with olive oil and place it on a baking tray to catch any bubbling sauce.
2
Toss the sliced courgettes with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and leave them in a colander for 15 minutes. Pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel; the slices should feel damp, not wet.
3
Whisk the cream, grated garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and half of the thyme together in a bowl until evenly combined.
4
Arrange the courgette slices in overlapping rows in the prepared dish. Pour the cream mixture evenly over them, pressing gently so it runs between the slices.
5
Mix the Gruyère, breadcrumbs, and remaining thyme, then scatter the mixture evenly over the courgettes. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are bubbling, the courgettes are tender when pierced, and the topping is deeply golden.

6
Rest the gratin for 10 minutes so the cream settles, then spoon it onto warm plates and serve while the topping remains crisp.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Salting the courgettes concentrates their flavor, while a restrained cream sauce adds richness without overwhelming their delicate texture. Gruyère and breadcrumbs create a deeply savory, crisp finish.
