Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Zucchini medium, sliced into ½-inch steaks
  • Fresh garlic minced
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
  • Salt pepper, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes
  • Lemon juice for a fresh finish

Method
 

  1. Slice zucchini into thick steaks and pat dry.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs, then sear in a pan until golden.
  3. Add garlic and butter, letting the zucchini soak up the flavor.
  4. Top with Mozzarella and Parmesan, then broil until cheese melts.
  5. Finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Use thick zucchini slices to avoid mushiness. Don’t overcrowd the pan for a crispy crust. Mix Mozzarella and Parmesan for the best flavor. Add a spicy kick with red chili flakes or hot honey.
