4 tbsp. butter
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
3 medium sized zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
3 large tomatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
1 1/3 c. diced Swiss cheese (5 1/3 oz.)
1 c. sourdough bread crumbs

Slices of zucchini and onion are quickly sautéed, then combined with tomato wedges, Swiss cheese, and sourdough bread crumbs in this Italian style side dish.

In a wide frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, zucchini and garlic and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, 1 c. of the cheese and 3/4 c. of the bread crumbs; toss gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in basil. Pour into a shallow 1 1/2 qt. casserole or 9 inch square baking dish. Top with remaining 1/3 c. cheese and 1/4 c. bread crumbs.

Bake uncovered in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
