Recipe Notes
Steam the zucchini only until just tender to prevent excess moisture in the finished gratin. Greek yogurt provides the creamiest texture, but regular natural yogurt also works well. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan or extra feta before baking for a richer golden topping. Serve alongside grilled chicken, lamb, fish, or warm crusty bread for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.Wine Advice
