20-Minute Baked Parmesan Zucchini Recipe For When the Garden Explodes With Fresh Zucchini by Melissa Vickers
Treat a zucchini plant right and you’ll be rewarded with tons of fresh zucchini! Here’s a zucchini recipe from my daughter for an easy way to make use of some of that green summer treasure.
True to how she learned to cook from me and how I learned to cook from my mom, a recipe is just a starting point, and you make it your own – especially when you are missing some of the ingredients. Her inspiration for this easy recipe was similar to eggplant parmesan that involved dipping the zucchini in egg and breadcrumbs, but she didn’t bother, and the result was plenty tasty!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter

- 1/2 - 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Here’s how to make it:
- Set oven to broil. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet. Add sliced zucchini in a single layer. Cook until barely browned, flipping to brown both sides.
