Preheat oven to 400F. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.

In a large oven-proof skillet, melt the butter. Cook the onions until translucent and fragrant.

Add in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add in the broth, salt, pepper, and pour the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat and add in the parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.

Arrange the sliced zucchini in the bottom of a casserole dish, overlapping each other. Place mozzarella slices between zucchini slices, as shown in the video.

Evenly pour the cheese on top of the zucchini, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese on top starts to brown, and the zucchini are fork tender.

Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Enjoy!
