2. Slice the yellow squash, zucchini, and tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

3. Mince the garlic, then combine it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

7. In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and chopped fresh parsley.

8. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the vegetables, followed by the remaining Parmesan cheese.

9. Bake the gratin in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the cheese has melted, and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
