This is an amazing layered dish that you bake in the oven. You layer zucchini slices with tomatoes and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and cover with mozzarella cheese and repeat it.

Ingredients

2 or 3 medium zucchini cut into quarter-inch slices (round slices) Olive oil
3 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced into quarter-inch slices
1 C. shredded mozzarella, divided
2 tsp Italian dried spice mix, divided
3/4 C. of shredded parmesan
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sauté the zucchini slices in olive oil to soften them. You don't even need to flip them over. Just sauté about 3 minutes on medium-high heat until the first side starts to brown around the edges. Take out a 9-inch square oven-proof pan. Arrange enough zucchini slices in the bottom of the pan to cover the surface. Top that with tomato slices in the same fashion. Sprinkle with one tsp. of the Italian spices. Top with 1/2 C. shredded mozzarella. Do the same thing for a second layer. Top the second layer with the mozzarella and then the shredded parmesan. Grate salt and pepper on top to taste. Bake the strata in the middle of your oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before you cut it.
