Butter a large deep casserole dish. Wash vegetables (any combination of those

of each vegetable. Lay one layer of carrot and zucchini, sprinkle with half of the onions
and mushrooms, one-third of the grated cheese, and salt and pepper, lay down a layer of
broccoli and cauliflower, sprinkle with remaining onions and mushrooms, one-third of
the grated cheese and salt and pepper. Lay down a layer of potatoes and sprinkle with

with remaining one-third of the cheese, breadcrumbs and Parmesan mixture and bake
