#11. Zucchini and Cheese on Toast

This one was not so great. I'm not even going to share the recipe (it came from the Easy Vegetarian book).  

The problems here were: 1. Shallots are disgusting. I thought I could make them taste better than they did in the Chiles Rellenos (the "for real" ones) by precooking them, but it did not help. 2. There was not enough cheese. Part of this is my fault because I *may* have stuffed a few handfuls of it in my face prior to adding it to the zucchini. 3. The recipe called for Worchestershire sauce, but I didn't have any. I was going to add some balsamic vinegar, but I forgot. 4. The bread was supposed to be pretoasted so it wouldn't get soggy, but this just meant the edges got burnt while the middles got soggy anyway. Maybe baking would have worked better than broiling.

I took some pretty pictures, though. Here it is, ready to go into the oven:


This was when it had broiled just long enough to look right. (I should have taken it out then except that the recipe called for raw egg, and I wanted to make sure it was thoroughly cooked.):


The colors looked nice with this plate:


I ate the most burnt slice first. I stuck a fork in it because it was done!:


It just occurred to me that this is the recipe I tasted before adding the egg, not the zucchini bread. The mixture was pretty good raw, I must say.
