My mother used to make a version of this recipe with more steps than I could bear when prepping dinner. I took a good look at the ingredients, added corn, and simplified by combining ingredients in ways that made it quicker to assemble while keeping the same delicious texture and flavor.

- Combine corn kernels, onion, tomato, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Tightly place a layer of zucchini and squash on the bottom of the baking dish, then scoop 1/3 of the corn and her mixture on top, followed by a layer of cheese.
- Continue to layer the ingredients in this order finishing with cheese as the top layer.
