Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter or grease a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash and slice into rounds about ¼ inch thick. Arrange the zucchini and squash in the cast iron pan.
Next, in a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and saute for a couple of minutes.
Add the flour and whisk into the melted butter and garlic.
Slowly start adding the milk and whisk into the butter/flour mixture. Continue adding the milk while whisking until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
Add the Italian herbs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
Pour the melted cheese mixture over the arranged zucchini and squash. Top with the Panko.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes or until the top has browned sufficiently.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Whole milk is preferred in this recipe, if using 2 % or 1% you may need to increase the flour to thicken the sauce.
