Easy Cheesy

Tonight's recipe experiment was Cheesy Zucchini. We often get a lot of zucchini in our summer CSA, and I like to grow basil in my garden, so this could be a good fit.  It has a good flavor, and it's so basic that there are lots of possibilities for jazzing it up; different cheeses, spices, etc.

It's a super-easy recipe, but I had a couple of "problems".  First, 35 minutes was not quite enough to render the zucchini done, and second, it wasn't enough time to brown the cheese.  Aside from that, it was a nice alternative to plain summer squash and zucchini.

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake.  Tried; 05/15/13.  The flavor is good and gives lots of opportunity for "spicing it up" - you're limited only by your taste and creativity.  However, I cut my zucchini in quarters, not half rounds, and it STILL wasn't really done at the end of 35 minutes, and the cheese didn't brown, except around the edges, so allow more time for baking.
