3-4 Medium Zucchini (or 2 Large) - About 3 Lb total [plus salt to sprinkle over to help remove moisture from Zucchini once sliced]
1 Tbl Butter
1 tsp Minced Garlic (2 cloves)
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream or Half & Half

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place 1/4" sliced zucchini on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let sit @ 30 min to help draw out the moisture from the zucchini slices (this will help prevent a soggy baked dish). Then blot zucchini slices dry and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by placing the Butter in a Pan over medium heat until melted. Then add the Garlic and cook a few minutes until fragrant.
Add in the Heavy Cream (or Half & Half) and Cream Cheese, cook down until smooth.
Then stir in the Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Onion Powder and Salt & Pepper to taste, cooking until a smooth cheese sauce results. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a baking dish, arrange the Zucchini Slices in rows, overlapping slightly, to create a layer.
Spread/Dollop cheese sauce over Zucchini Slice layer, then sprinkle with Shredded Cheddar Cheese & Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Repeat until Zucchini Slices are used up.
Bake (uncovered) for 30-35 min, until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy!
