7 tablespoons butter divided
3 large yellow onions cut in half and sliced
2 pounds zucchini (about 4 zucchini) sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup hot milk
3/4 cup grated gruyére cheese divided
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan and cook onions over low heat for 15 minutes, or until tender but not browned. Add zucchini and cook, cov-ered, for 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

Stir in flour. Add hot milk and ½ cup Gruyère cheese; cook over low heat for a few minutes until mixture thickens and cheese is melted. Pour mixture into an 8x11x2-inch baking dish. Combine bread crumbs with remaining ¼ cup Gruyère cheese and sprinkle over zucchini mix-ture. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter cut into small bits. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and nicely browned.

TIP: Because of their similar flavors, Swiss cheese can be substituted for the Gruyère.
