Place in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Pat dry. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash diagonally into ¼-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, gently toss leeks, zucchini, squash, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Arrange vegetable slices in bottom of pie plate, slightly overlapping them.

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over vegetables, and bake until the bread crumbs are golden brown and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
