Very interesting recipe and a good way to use up extra zucchini. I lightly toasted the slices of Italian bread because I didn't want the end result to be too soggy (and it wasn't). I baked this for about 30 minutes to make sure the zucchini mixture was cooked through. This was a nice side dish for an Italian meal.
