Toasted Zucchini Snacks

psychotammymom's Note:

This is a great little appetizer recipe that my friend, Chris, gave me. She made them for a church function and many people left with the recipe. A serving platter of these and bruschetta would look very pretty together. The original recipe called for 36 slices of snack rye bread instead of the baguette bread. The prep. time does not include time to allow the zucchini to soak.
