Amazing recipe! I made this today with zucchini and tomatoes from my garden. I substituted fresh basil because I forgot to plant oregano this year. It came out great! Even my husband, who hates veggies, ate several.

I made this recipe today -- it was GREAT! I forgot to get mozzarella so put monterey jack cheese on some, and goat cheese on other pieces. They were both great. Very tasty for a low cal and healthy dish. Can't wait to have left overs.
