Submitted by Titus

"This is one of our favorite recipes that we've come across in a while. It's so simple and fun to make and tastes amazing too. I got it from a cookbook named, "easy vegetarian", which is a great vegetarian cookbook. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Be Sure To Squeeze The Grated Zucchini Well. Otherwise it will make the toast soggy."

ingredients

• 2 zucchini, grated
• 1 1⁄2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese or 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
• 1 shallot, finely chopped (We typically just use 1/4 to 1/2 of a regular onion.)

directions

1. Put the grated zucchini in a clean, dry dishtowel and twist tightly, squeezing out all the excess liquid.
2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the cheese, shallot, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly.
3. Put the toasted bread on a baking tray, pile the zucchini mixture on top, and cook under a preheated broiler until golden brown. Serve hot.
