Zucchini Appetizer

Submitted by Annz Recipez

"I don't recall where I found this recipe, but my husband, who's really a picky eater (especially when it comes to vegetables) just loves it! It's a great party food or side dish or even a nice light summer dinner. I get tons of compliments every time I bring it to a pot luck. You can experiment with other cheeses, too. It's very flexible."

Just kind of blah. I did add 1 carrot shredded up. But this dish is very eggy tasting. It's missing. Needs more seasoning, more garlic and salt maybe? Maybe a sharper cheese? I don't know if I would bother to make this again. While it was very easy to make, it just doesn't really taste like much of anything other than egg.

Perfect dish for a summer party - hot or cold it is yummy! Easy and stays good in the summer sun. I used garlic salt and italian seasoning instead of the salt, parsley and oregano and it turned out perfect. I think I am going to add black olives next time to add a little zip. Great addition to the recipe file!

Did this recipe as an appetizer, & now definitely want to keep it around & make it as a vegetable side ~ We enjoyed it's simple flavor & will find it a great addition to a spicier main dish! Thanks much for the keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I wasn't quite sure what to expect by reading the ingredient list. Would it be eggy like quiche? Would it be more bread like? What I ended up with was zucchini baked in a light batter with just enough to hold things together. I served this as a veggie side dish with steaks instead of an appetizer, but can see it used that way as well. I sliced the zucchini paper thin on the mandolin and added 1 can of drained mushrooms. I also patted the mixture into the pan and smoothed the surface before baking. What came out of the oven was a mild flavored dish which featured the flavors of the vegetables. It was pretty & golden and not at all "eggy". I think one could add a julienned red pepper or carrot ribbons to the mix if you wanted additional color. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
