I love zucchini! MIL generously gave me the first harvest of zucchini this year and the first recipe I went to to prepare them. Good stuff. I used 2 eggs and full fat Parmesan. Sprayed the top with some cooking oil too. I didn't serve them with the marinara, I love them "as is". These made a great snack today. Thanks for posting. Made for my Babes for ZWT4.

Delicious! The zucchini had a fantastic flavor and we loved them dipped in the marinara sauce. Made for the Tastebud Tickling Travelers during ZWT 4.
