    How to Make Cheesy Zucchini Gratin with Crispy Pork Rind Crust

    1. Prepare the Zucchini

    Place the zucchini slices in a colander and generously sprinkle them with pink salt. Let them drain over the sink for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

    2. Melt Brie and Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the Brie cheese together with the butter, stirring until they blend into a smooth mixture.

    3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

    4. Arrange Zucchini and Add Brie Mixture

    Once the zucchini has drained, arrange the slices neatly in an 8-inch baking dish, then season them lightly with freshly ground black pepper. Pour the melted Brie and butter mixture evenly over the zucchini slices, making sure they are well-coated.

    5. Add Gruyère and Pork Rinds

    Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the top. Evenly distribute the crushed pork rinds over the cheese.

    6. Bake the Gratin

    Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbling and the top is nicely browned.

    7. Cool and Serve

    Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
