I really enjoyed this! I`m used to creamy Gratins. I cut the recipe in half. And I cut the roasting time down by roasting everything together on two cookie sheets. I could only find large porabella`s so I sliced them in half and leghtwise to make 20 slices. Then layered them with 20 slices of zucchini. Cut the sliced tomatoes into half and put them on top of the zucchini. Each layer having some cheese and topped with cheese and breadcrumbs. So each was an individual one. This made a great appetizer put on melba toast.
