Summer squash casserole in Provencal style

The most delicious young zucchini appear in our markets around the middle of summer. Not too large, thin-skinned, still without seeds, they practically do not need heat treatment. And in this simple summer Provencal casserole, they perfectly preserve their delicate milky aroma and delicate texture under a light cheese crust.
