Recipe Notes

• You can use any shredded cheese you'd like for this recipe. I used mozzarella, but provolone, Monterey Jack, gruyere, fontina, cheddar or Swiss would be delicious.

• Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded bag cheese, so grate your own if you can.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the sliced zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes drain any liquid from the zucchini and arrange in the bottom of a buttered or sprayed 9x9-inch (or similar size) casserole dish.
    
2. Add the tomatoes in a single layer over the zucchini.
3. Season with Italian seasonings, salt and black pepper. Add minced garlic over the top and place in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 15 minutes.
4. While the casserole bakes, combine meted butter, breadcrumbs and both cheeses in a bowl.
5. After 15 minutes of baking remove the zucchini and tomatoes from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese mixture. Put back in oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
