• Toss toasted bread, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and parmesan together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Alternate tomato and zucchini slices in a shallow baking pan.

TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI GRATIN

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick round slices, as uniformly as you can. On a cookie sheet or ovenproof platter, overlap the tomato and zucchini in a decorative pattern, like red and green shingles on a gingerbread house. Blend all the dry ingredients together, then scatter them evenly over the tomatoes and zucchini. Sprinkle the olive oil on top and bake in a 375 degree oven until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes. Present the platter or sheet at the table, using a cake server or metal spatula to slide several overlapping pieces onto each diner's plate.;

ZUCCHINI TOMATO GRATIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a large sauce pan of water to a boil. Add the zucchini and summer squash pieces, bring the pot back to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the pan into a colander. Dump the cooked squash pieces into a heat proof bowl and roughly mash the pieces with a potato masher. You want to have large pieces, so don't over mash. Dump the mixture back into the colander to drain off extra liquid.
• Combine the squash, herbs, red pepper, salt and pepper, and egg into a baking dish and stir to evenly distribute everything. My gratin dish is 11 x 8. An 8 x8 Pyrex would be perfect.
• Add the tomato slices. Tuck some of the slices under the mixture, and top the mixture with the rest of the slices.
• Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the dish, and top with the cheeses and return it, uncovered, to the oven for 20 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes, if the cheese is not brown enough, turn on your broiler, raise the rack, and place the dish under the broiler. Stay close by and remove the dish when the cheese is how you like it.
• Note: This recipe can easily be scaled. I also think it would be wonderful in little individual gratin dishes.
