Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups peeled sweet potato rounds -- (1/2 inch thick)

4 garlic cloves -- minced or pressed

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions

3 cups sliced zucchini rounds -- (1/2 inch thick)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram -- (1 teaspoon dried)

5 eggs

8 ounces Neufchatel or cream cheese -- at room temperature

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 cups milk

1 cup grated smoked Cheddar cheese

 

Preheat the oven to 400F. Oil a 9 x 11-inch baking pan.

 

In a bowl, stir together the sweet potatoes with half of the garlic, 1 1/2

tablespoons of the oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt until evenly coated. Spread

in a single layer on an unoiled baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes,

until tender.

 

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet and

saute the onions with the rest of the garlic and salt until the onions have

softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and marjoram and saute until the

zucchini rounds are soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes. When the sweet

potatoes are tender and brown, remove them from the oven and set aside.

 

Lower the oven temperature to 350F.

 

In a blender, puree the eggs, Neufchatel or cream cheese, pepper, and milk to

make a smooth custard. Layer the roasted sweet potatoes in the prepared pan and

spread the sauteed zucchini on top, Evenly sprinkle on the smoked cheese, then

pour the custard over all.

 

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until browned and firm. Serve hot.
