Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 | eggs |
2 tbsp | milk |
3 | zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices |
½ cup | panko bread crumbs |
2 tbsp | Olive Oil |
2 cups | strained puréed tomatoes (passata) |
2 tbsp | Better Than Bouillon® Sautéed Onion Base |
¼ cup | thinly sliced fresh basil, divided |
1 cup | shredded mozzarella cheese |
¼ cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
In bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip zucchini into egg mixture, then toss in bread crumbs.
Preheat broiler to high. Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until softened and lightly browned. Transfer to paper towel–lined tray. Let cool slightly.
In small saucepan, combine tomatoes and Sautéed Onion Base; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in half of the basil.
Roll up zucchini; place in single layer in cast iron skillet. Spoon sauce over top; sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Sprinkle with remaining basil before serving.
Substitute fontina or provolone cheese for mozzarella cheese if desired.
