Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 12 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. You should get about 10-12 slices per zucchini.
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they have grill marks and are tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, fresh thyme, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese mixture on one side of half of the grilled zucchini slices.
Top with the remaining zucchini slices to create a sandwich.
Thread the cherry tomatoes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the cherry tomatoes for about 3-4 minutes, until they begin to blister and char.
Serve the zucchini goat cheese toasts warm, either as individual toasts or skewered with grilled cherry tomatoes for a complete bite.
