Zucchini Gratin

    6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for topping
    1 pound yellow onions, cut in 1/2 and sliced (3 large)
    2 pounds zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick (4 zucchini)
    2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup hot milk
    3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
    3/4 cup grated Gruyere

Preheat the oven to 400F. Melt the butter in a very large (12-inch)
saute pan and cook the onions over low heat for 20 minutes, or until
tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and cook, covered, for 10
minutes, or until tender. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook
uncovered for 5 more minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the hot milk and
cook over low heat for a few minutes, until it makes a sauce. Pour
the mixture into an 8 by 10-inch baking dish.

Combine the bread crumbs and Gruyere and sprinkle on top of the
zucchini mixture. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small bits
and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
