Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thinly slice the zucchini and tomatoes into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Grease a medium-sized baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Arrange a layer of zucchini slices in the dish, slightly overlapping, followed by a layer of tomato slices.
Sprinkle minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper over the layer.
Repeat the zucchini and tomato layering until you’ve used all the slices, seasoning each layer as you go.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top layer of vegetables.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
