Zucchini Broiled

Serves 4-6

 

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 Tbsp diced pimiento

3 Tbsp chopped ripe black olives

6 small zucchinis, washed and sliced lengthwise into two or three slices

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

Salt and pepper

¼ cup finely chopped Italian parsley

Preheat broiler.  Place rack about six inches below broiler. 

Combine cheese, pimiento and olives in a small bowl, set aside.

Brush both sides of each zucchini slice with olive oil.  Arrange slices on a broiler pan or cookie sheet.  Broil for about 5-6 minutes until tender.

Spoon some of the cheese mixture onto each zucchini slice until each is well topped.  Broil again for a few minutes, until cheese melts and slightly browns on top. 

            Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little 
            parsley.  Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish.  Enjoy
