Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium baking dish.

  4. Transfer the vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated; sprinkle over the vegetable layer.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are bubbling and topping is golden brown.
  7. Let it rest for about five minutes before serving.
