Leana's Zucchini Gratin

Last summer during zucchini season, my friend Leana brought this dish over to dinner at least twice. My kids LOVED it, and it is EASY!!
So, on Fathers' Day this year, with several fresh zucchini from the Amish farmstand, I tried it out myself.

Leana's Zucchini Gratin
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion Chopped or Sliced thinly (preferably a sweet variety)
3-5 Small Zucchini cut in half and sliced into half-rounds.
Salt & Pepper to taste
Additional herbs optional
1/2 C shredded cheese of your choice

Warm a non-stick skillet and coat with the Olive Oil.
Toss in the onion add salt & pepper and stir to coat the onion with the olive oil.
Let the onion sweat for 3-4 minutes then add the Zucchini.
Cook the zucchini until it is tender - almost soft.
Toss in the Cheese, cover and let stand while the cheese melts.

Serve to very a very happy family!
