Zucchini with Tomatoes and Cheese in the Oven
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. A very simple dish that turns out especially well with fresh zucchini. To make baked zucchini with tomatoes and cheese, you will need hard cheese (but it also turns out tasty with other kinds, especially mozzarella). The tomatoes should be juicy—that way it will definitely taste better. I recommend rubbing the zucchini with spices and dried Provençal herbs, for example. Serve with greens and sauce.

Step 3
Place a tomato slice on each zucchini round. Choose tomatoes whose diameter matches the zucchini size—the dish will look neater and more attractive. You can add a little salt and pepper here too, for example. But that is entirely optional.

For example, I salted and peppered the dish at the very end. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake the zucchini in the oven for about 10–15 minutes.
