Yankee Recipes: Zucchini Red Pepper Gratin

This dish was inspired by my mom’s sauteed veggies that she makes in the summer alongside angel hair pasta. She tosses lots of bright vegetables into a skillet with olive oil and cooks them until they are soft. I decided to bake my veggies and top them with a bit of crumbly light cracker.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 medium white onion, diced
• 3 zucchini, sliced into half moon shapes
• pinch dried herbs de provence
• salt & pepper
• non-stick cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons egg white (Egg Beaters)
• 2 tablespoons fat free milk
• 2 crumbled Light n Crispy Wasa crackers

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Add the red pepper and onion and raise heat to med-low. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Stir frequently.

2. Add the zucchini and spices – salt and pepper (2 shakes each). Cook for 5 minutes.

3. Spread the mixture in a baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray.

4. In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites and milk together. Pour over the vegetables. Sprinkle the crumbled Wasa on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top before serving!
