Zucchini and Tomato Medallions


Yep, I am still eating zucchini!  

This recipe is so easy and appetizing!





All you need to make this delicious side dish is 
1-2 tomatoes
1 zucchini
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c grated cheddar cheese
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
salt and pepper 

The tomatoes and zucchini are sliced about 1/2" thick....I cut the zucchini on the diagonal because of the size of the tomatoes.  Both vegetables are set on paper towels for 20 minutes to absorb moisture:


These are the two cheeses I used, but you can use any flavors you want.


On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, I layered zucchini. salt and pepper, half of the cheeses, tomato, salt and pepper, the rest of the cheeses and jalapeno peppers





These are baked in a 375° oven for 15-20 minutes.


You can be so flexible when making these:  
Try mozzarella cheese and some Italian spices or Pepper Jack cheese and after baking, drizzle with Balsamic.


Be careful the vegetables don't overcook so they will stay firm when cut:





Zucchini and tomatoes are excellent sources of Vit C, which is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues!


Enjoy!

  4. I made this tonight and it was fabulous. I used low fat mozzerella with the parm and added about 3 T or so of finely chopped fresh herbs to the cheese mixture with a sprinkle on top. SO good! Thank you!
