Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add zucchini slices; cook until centers appear transparent, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ham; cook and stir until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and pour honey over ham. Cook and stir until ham is crisp and honey browns, about 5 minutes.

  • Pour tomato sauce into a deep baking dish. Cover with half the zucchini slices. Season with salt and pepper. Layer tomato slices, crisp ham, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon basil, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano on top. Cover with remaining zucchini slices. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon basil, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano on top.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Try switching out the diced raw ham with diced bacon (low-fat if possible) or pastrami. For a meaty crust, set some ham aside before you cook it with honey. Sprinkle reserved ham over the cheese before baking.

Season with herbes de Provence if desired.

This was a tasty recipe.. however I think some of the measurements in the recipe are off. I think 2 zucchini with 20 ounces of cheese (goat plus the parm) would be overkill. I looked at the recipe submitter's photo on his personal recipe and it shows a sprinkle of parm not a 12 ounce layer... so I used a sprinkle and a little less goat cheese. I used turkey bacon as well. This was a very nice recipe with those modifications. Read More

Great recipe! My husband is a 'meat and potatoes' kind of guy and he loved this! I did follow other reviewers' advice and just gave a (generous) sprinkle of Parmesan on the top. Read More

This was really good! I didn't use as much parmesan cheese as the recipe asked for and I had pizza sauce on hand so used that in place of tomato sauce. I also used fresh chopped herbs. Definitely a keeper!! Read More

This was a winner in my house. It was something different for sure and we really enjoyed it! I substituted cream cheese for goat cheese and used Krakus lunchmeat ham because those are what I had. I also just sprinkled the parmesan on. It turned out excellent and hubby told me to add it to the rotation! Read More
