DIRECTIONS

  1. PLACE squash onto baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Dry the squash with paper towels.

  2. PREHEAT oven to broil. Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish, set aside.

  3. HEAT 1 Tbsp oil and saute the onion and garlic in a medium saucepan.Add the flour, stirring constantly. Cook about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the milk using a whisk. Return to heat and allow to thicken, about 2-4 minutes.

  4. ADD half the gruyere, stir well. Add remaining cheese, stir well and remove from heat. The mixture will be very thick. Set aside.

  5. POUR 1 tablespoon oil into a large pan over high heat. Add half the squash and brown on each side. Remove and place on a paper towel to dry. Pour in an additional 1 tablespoon of oil and repeat with remaining squash.

  6. SPREAD 1/2 of the cheese mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer in 1/2 of the squash. Spread the other 1/2 of the cheese mix on top. Finish with the last 1/2 of the squash. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over top.

  7. BROIL for 8-10 minutes, or until the parmesan cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

NOTES:

  1. Swiss cheese can be used in place of gruyere.
