Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cooking until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves. Set the mixture aside.

Step 8

In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices evenly. Top with half of the tomato mixture, followed by 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini, tomato mixture, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer. Then, spread the breadcrumbs in an even layer over the Parmesan.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Zucchini Supreme!
