Sometimes she would layer in slices of tomatoes, but more often than not, this was the version she always made. Very simply, thin slices of zucchini were breaded in Parmesan and breadcrumbs and layered with ham and smoked mozzarella. Finished off with a healthy drizzle of olive oil, it’s baked in 400F oven for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly . (Also, since I was in my twenties I’ve been a huge melissa_etheridge fan. I could listen to this song at the most absurd decibels over and over again and never tire of it) . . 4 or 5 zucchini’s cut thin (I used the mandolin) 3/4 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning Pinch chili flakes 1/2 lb ham (I used Black Forest, but you can use wherever you want) 1 ball of smoked mozzarella sliced thin (My Grandmother always used scamorza, but I love the taste of the smoked cheese…provolone works well too) Olive oil for drizzling Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and chili flakes in a bowl. Dip the zucchini slices in and press the mixture to stay on as best you could. Now it’s time to layer. Spray the bottom of a casserole with cooking stay and lay down a layer of zucchini. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Lay down a layer of ham, and then cheese. Place another layer of zucchini down, drizzle lightly with olive oil and then another layer of ham and cheese. Finish with a layer of zucchini and sprinkle with some extra crumbs. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until tender, golden and bubbly. . . . . . . . #zucchinirecipes #zucchinitorte #healthyrecipes #seasonalzucchini ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 4,624 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 144 ## Tags zucchinirecipes, seasonalzucchini, healthyrecipes, zucchinitorte --- Copyright (c) Gondola
