  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon basil, chopped
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

In a large, cast-iron skillet over medium heat, saut the onions, garlic, green pepper and tomatoes until softened. Fold in basil and remove to a bowl.

While the onions and peppers are cooking, combine zucchini, egg, flour, salt and pepper and stir well.

Drizzle a little EVOO into the same skillet the onions and peppers were cooked in. Drop 4 equal mounds of the zucchini egg mixture onto the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side.

Top each of the zucchini-egg rounds with some of the cooked tomato mixture and shredded cheese. Pop under the broiler until golden brown and bubbly, 1-2 minutes.
