Ingredients:
7 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet pepper, thinly sliced
12 summer squash, or more, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh basil leaves
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
¾ cup fresh breadcrumbs
¾ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 10-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Saute garlic, pepper, and squash over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the basil and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange the tomato slices on top of the squash mixture. Combine the breadcrumbs with the cheeses and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the crumb mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden-brown.
