1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

Wash the zucchini and potatoes thoroughly. Slice the zucchini and potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4

In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini and potatoes with the sautéed onion and garlic. Add in the salt, black pepper, and mix well.

5

In a separate bowl, mix the milk with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and stir well.

6

In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the zucchini and potato mixture. Pour half of the milk mixture over it and then sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.

7

Layer the remaining zucchini and potatoes, pour the rest of the milk mixture, and top with the remaining cheese.

8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Once baked, let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
