Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and minced garlic. Pour half over the zucchini
Step 5: Sprinkle half of the cheddar and parmesan cheese over the first layer. Repeat layers

Notes

To maintain the texture, avoid skipping the 'sweating' process of zucchini slices.

For better melting, grate your cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese.
