Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Turkish
Ingredients: 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced; 4 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1/4 cup olive oil; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese; Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil.
In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Arrange the sliced zucchinis and tomatoes in the greased baking dish, alternating between the two for a visually appealing pattern.
Sprinkle the sautéed onion and garlic over the layered zucchinis and tomatoes.
Season the dish with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini and tomato mixture.
Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Once the cheese is bubbly and irresistible, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and added herbaceous notes.
