Zucchini with Cheese

This Middle Eastern dish makes good use of this month's bountiful supply of zucchini, whether picked from the garden or purchased at the local market.  It makes a light supper accompanied with yogurt, perfect for the hot weather.

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 2 1/2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil

• 2 pounds zucchini

• 3 eggs

• 1/2 pound grated cheese, a combination of cheddar and gruyere works well.

• salt and pepper

Directions:

• Sauté the onion in the butter or oil.

• Wash the zucchini, trim off the ends and cut into 1/2 inch slices.

• Steam the zucchini until just tender (remember it will be baked afterwards in the oven).

• Butter an oven proof dish and place the zucchini in it.

• Beat the eggs, add the grated cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.  Mix well and pour over the zucchini.

• Bake for 20 minutes until the topping is lightly browned.

• Can be served hot or at room temperature.

• Serve with a dollop of yogurt.
