Worth Turning The Oven On In This Heat

I made this recipe the other nigh. It simple and quick, it takes about 1/2 hour to put together.

Feel free to experiment and substitute the veggies! I made one with spinach and potatoes instead of squash and it was amazing!

The recipe makes 2 tortes - Freeze one!

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2lbs Yukon potatoes & 12 ounces yellow squash,
cut 1/8-inch-thick rounds
6 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Butter two 8-inch-diameter cake pans. (I used square ceramic pans)
Set aside 1/4 cup sliced green onions.
Toss remaining green onions, cheese, flour, thyme, salt and pepper in medium bowl to blend.
Create 1 Layer potatoes in concentric circles in bottom of 1 prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil.
Sprinkle with 1/6 of cheese mixture.
Repeat procedure remaining potatoes, squash, oil, and cheese mixture.
Cover pans with foil.
Bake until potatoes are almost tender, about 40 minutes.
Remove foil; bake uncovered until tortes begin to brown and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes longer.Cut each torte into wedges.
Sprinkle wedges with 1/4 cup green onions; serve.
(Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cool. Cover with foil and chill. Rewarm, covered with foil, in 350°F oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.)
