Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Assemble the Bake
Grease a baking dish lightly.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the dish. Pour the creamy mixture over the vegetables.
Top with remaining cheese.
Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, and olive oil together, then sprinkle evenly over the top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until:
the top is golden brown

Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
