This makes one mean sandwich! I varied a bit and used garlic olive oil and left out the salt and herbs. This is at its best hot once cold the zucchinis go a little mushy. Tip The best slices are about 1/2 cm thick they go really brown and curring a few ribbons using a peeler makes crispy slices that add to the texture of the sandwich. -
A really good sandwich. I am a vegetarian and my boyfriend eats vegetarian mostly, because that is all I buy and cook for him lol. So it was awesome to find a new vegetarian sandwich that is delicious! I would like to try pbmail_box's version. It sounds really good! I think there are quite a few variations that could be made. The cream cheese could be seasoned, extra toppings could be added, various breads could be used, etc. I'm glad I tried this recipe! -
WOW!!! These are incredible! I had them open face and used itallian potato rosemarry bread. Since I had no fresh herbs on hand I thinly sliced a garden fresh tomato and onion to place on top. My neighbor came over just as I was assembling the last sandwich. She tried it and loved it too! It was the perfect light summer dinner with a glass of white wine! -
Oh my God. Sooooo good. I used Cilatnro and mini baguettes. My new favorite sandwich! Be careful not to cook the zucchini too long or the sandwich gets too messy. Womderful, wonderful recipe!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
