Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1½ cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg plus ¼ cup water, mixed
  • 2 cups of marinara sauce
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • canola and/or olive oil
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut into ¼" rounds. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
  3. In another bowl, combine the egg and water.
  4. In a large frying pan, combine equal parts canola and olive oil, to cover the pan about ¼".
  5. TIP: if you have lots of zucchini, this job will go much faster if you use two frying pans.
  6. Dip each zucchini round in the egg mixture, coating both sides, then into the bread crumb mixture. Fry until golden brown over medium-high heat - about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcook.
  7. Preheat oven to 350F.
  8. In an appropriately sized casserole dish, place a half cup of sauce on the bottom of the dish. Place the zucchini on top - up to two layers. Top with about a cup to a cup and a half of sauce.
  9. Then top with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. This should take 20-30 minutes.
