Definitely FIVE stars. Thanks, Amanda for suggesting this recipe in Pimp My Recipes thread! Otherwise, I would not have found it. These were so, so good! I'm not sure what a med. zucchini is -- but I used 2 zucchini that were about 6 or 7" long. I cut them into forths. I had a lot of the egg mixture left over and probably enough of the parm mixture for yet another zucchini -- and I had that 3rd one which now, I wished I had done! I upped the oven temp to 440 -- only because I was doing some potatoes that needed the higher temp. And I left them in the oven for 20 minutes. They were perfect -- nicely brown with a little crunch. We had some ranch dressing to dip them in. We will be having these a LOT!!! For the seasoning I used 1/4 t. garlic powder, 1/4 t. oregano, 1/4 t. basil and 1/4 t. thyme. It was a wonderful combination. Superb!!!!

What can I say, these were great! I used garden zucchini and plan to make this again next week! One thing I learned is that you don't want to cut the zucchini too thin. I cut some thin and some thick and the thicker slices were definitely better (the zucchini flavor was not overpowered by the rich Parm). I was able to use 2 (8") zucchini with the batter listed in this recipe. They cooked up in about 17 minutes. I didn't flip them but did broil the tops briefly at the end. Lovely recipe for summer! Thank you, Amanda Beth! [Made for the All You Can Cook Buffet]

<p>I live in TN with a husband, 9 year old, 6 year old, and our two dogs. I'm a busy mom who loves to cook for family and friends. We have two boys, and they are the light of my life! My husband is a restaurant manager. We actually met while working together at Bob Evans in another city. He was one cute grill cook!! Now he is one cute manager, and I am so proud of him! He currently works for El Chico, and he is very happy there. <br />I am a stay at home mom who sometimes does temp work, which is a big change from corporate America. We'll see how that goes. Now that I have some more time, I plan to get back to the kind of cooking I used to do. You know...with pots and pans instead of a take out menu. I love to crochet, garden and hike with the family. Thanks in advance for any reviews you do of my recipes. :)</p>
