Ronde de Nice Zucchini with Aged Gouda

Ingredients

2 Ronde de Nice zucchini (or summer squash of your choice)
2 tablespoons lard, bacon grease, or beef tallow
1 cup aged Gouda, shredded
Unrefined salt to taste
Crème fraiche

Directions

Thinly slice zucchini in rounds.

Heat skillet to medium hot and add fat.

Gently lay zucchini pieces in hot fat and cook until golden brown on each side, taking care not to crowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

When zucchini is crisp and golden, remove to a platter and sprinkle with salt and shredded cheese.

Place in a 300° F oven until cheese is just melted.

Serve with crème fraiche.
