Method

Heat oil in a large nonstick pan with a tight fitting lid.

Add onion, garlic, jalapeño and thyme sprigs.

Cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add zucchini and squash and cook until just softened, about 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes, beans and corn.

Cover pan and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove lid, top with cheese and allow cheese to melt over the squash. If you prefer a browned cheese topping, place under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
