Steps

17 minutes

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) with convection if available.
2

Wash the zucchini and cut it into thick slices lengthwise.
3

Brush the slices with oil using a pastry brush to avoid using too much. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 10 minutes.
4

Trim the zucchini slices to match the size of the cheese slices.
5

Coat each zucchini slice with breadcrumbs and press down gently.
6

Place a slice of cheese on top, then a slice of ham. For extra flavor, add another slice of cheese in the middle.
7

Stack the slices on top of each other.
8

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake for about 7 minutes, until the cheese melts but the zucchini stays slightly firm. Brown the cheese with a kitchen torch or under a hot broiler.
