Zucchini “Crostini”
PREP TIME: Approximately 15 minutes
COOK TIME: TurboChef : 2-1/2 minutes
Conventional : 30 minutes
Unlike traditional crostini, which use bread, these pass-around
morsels use a zucchini slice as the base for a topping. They’re
really good and will appeal to the carbo-phobes among your
guests.
1. Select “Cookbooks” on the touchscreen. Select “Appetizers”
followed by “Zucchini Crostini.” Press “Preheat” to begin the
preheat cycle.
2. Oil a sheet pan and set aside.
3. In a shallow dish mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and
pepper to make the breading.
4. Slice the zucchini diagonally into 1/4-inch thick disks to make
18 pieces.
5. Dip the slices into beaten egg and then roll them in the
breading to cover completely. As each piece is done, place it on
the oiled sheet pan.
6. Place pan in the oven and press “Start.” Bake for 2-1/2 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven. Place a small mound of goat cheese,
topped with a strip of sun dried tomato on the “Crostini.”
Garnish with fresh oregano and serve.
