Step 1

Prep Time: 10 min Inactive; Cook Time: 45 min Level:
(My note: Don't add the milk mixture; when you get to that just add small amount of flour
in the liquid from zucchini and onions and tomatoes and stir til incorporated; now add cheeses and bake .)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish.

In a large heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Saute onion
and garlic until translucent. Add zucchini and tomatoes, about 7 minutes Add
thyme, and flour. Season with salt and pepper.
Add mixture to the buttered casserole dish.
In a medium size bowl, add brown sugar, eggs, and half-and-half. Season with
salt and pepper. Pour the milk mixture over the zucchini and sprinkle with both

Bake for 30 minutes.
