Went on vacation for a week and when we left our zucchini were an inch or so away from harvesting size (8-10" in length and an inch or so in diameter). Came home and they are as long and as big around as my forearm!!! I stacked them up in DH's arms like cord wood then ran to Zaar to find recipes for these bertha's. This recipe was one of the first that I found and boy... what a find! I doubled the recipe (this was the main course) using both green and yellow zucchini and the results were fabulous! I also omitted the oil, used canned tomatoes instead of fresh and instead of mixing together the topping I just sprinkled each ingredient (minus the cream) over the zucc's. Holy taste buds Batman! My 7 year old ate 3 helpings- 3! Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I'll be making this a lot this season.

This recipe was delicious. I'm going to make more next time and serve it as a main course and not a side. The only things different I did was use olive oil instead of vegetable oil and 1 more bacon rasher. Thanks Kim.

Zucchini is one of my very favorite veggies. This turned out better than I expected. I prepared this similar to BothFex. I did without the oil altogether. I also sprinkled each topping ingredient on separately and didn't use the cream. I wish I had doubled the recipe and will next time. Very tasty and easy to make. Thanks Kim.

This was absolutely delectable! I made this exactly as posted, and it worked out perfectly. What a wonderful way to prepare zucchini. I will be making this often (come the bumper crop)! Made for ZWT6.

This was soooo good! As usual, I used Panko bread crumbs for the topping. Nest time, I might try slicing like coins like another reveiwer suggested and layering them. I think this recipe is very versatile, so many wonderful things could be subbed and/or added! Thanks for sharing Kim.
