Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 cups finely chopped red onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons dry red wine

Spread onion mixture in the bottom of the prepared cast iron pan; set aside. , With a mandoline or sharp knife, cut the squash, potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices. On a flat surface, layer vegetables into stacks, starting with a potato slice, tomato, squash and zucchini. Arrange stacks on their sides around outside edge of prepared skillet in a circular pattern. Make a second, alternating circle in the center. Drizzle lemon juice over vegetables and sprinkle with herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Cover with foil; bake until vegetables are almost tender, 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cheese, ½ cup panko and clarified butter. , Remove foil; sprinkle with topping. Bake until cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove and let stand at least 10 minutes before serving.
