This was just what I wanted. It was easy, had some great flavors, and packed well for lunch! I was meticulous about the rows of zucchini but I should have pushed the rows closer together. Budget for the puff factor.
I cooked it for about 15 minutes, knowing that I would put it in the toaster oven at work so I aired on the under-cooked side.
Although I haven’t made interesting just-for-lunch recipes lately this reminded me how just a few high quality ingredients make for a tasty dish. Any cheese would have worked well. Even other prepared sauces would work too.
What else should be some quick lunch fixes?
This reminds me of a zucchini tart Saveur featured around 2006. They did feta instead of gruyere,and didn’t have pesto. I remember it being a little dry, so I will definitely try your version with the sauce. It looks divine!
