Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini (7-8 inches / 20 centimeters)
- 11 thin slices ham or prociutto
- 11 thin slices cheese (eg. Fontal, Gruyere, firm mozzrella, swiss)
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs (54.25 grams)
- ¼-½ teaspoon parsley
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil (brushing pans & zucchini)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400° F (200° C). Lightly brush one large and one small cookie sheet.
- Slice Zucchini lengthwise, thin but not too thin (a bit thicker then pie pastry crust thickness, you want to be able to roll them up but not break).
- In a flat dish mix together bread crumbs, parsley, oregano and salt.
- Brush both sides of sliced zucchini with olive oil, and dip both sides in bread crumb mixture. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet, sprinkle with leftover crumbs and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until soft.
- Remove from oven let sit 5 minutes, then top with a slice of ham and cheese, roll and secure with a toothpick. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake approximately 5 minutes or until cheese starts to melt. Serve immediately sprinkled with fresh chopped Italian parsley if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Can I use a mandoline to slice the zucchini?
Yes, a mandoline is ideal for getting uniformly thin slices that are flexible enough to roll without breaking. These are best eaten when baked, if you have leftover, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days.Nutrition
