  1. 1. Slice zucchini into quarter-inch rounds, arrange on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let sit 45 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. 2. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  3. 3. Heat the cream and cream cheese in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is hot.
  4. 4. Whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard, then remove from heat and stir in 1½ cups cheddar and ¼ cup Gruyere until smooth.
  5. 5. Pat the zucchini dry, removing excess salt, then layer half in a greased 8x8 baking dish and season with pepper.
  6. 6. Spoon half the cheese sauce over the zucchini, add the remaining zucchini, top with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
  7. 7. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, then let rest 5 minutes before serving.
