    Another way of preparing these absolute delicious appetizers is to use English muffins instead of sliced zucchinis.

    I can’t describe how tasty they turned out as well! Reheats perfectly, and great for school or work lunch boxes.

    They also taste amazing when cold and no reheating necessary. Give it try for yourself, and you will be making it over and over again!

    Baked zucchini is flavorless, but it's amazing how it can be turned into a scrumptious, and such a flavorful recipe by adding any of your favorite topping or sauce.

      Made this without the Blendabella (don't know where to find it) and it was still very good. Thank you for the recipe!

        BLEBDABELLA takes these appetizers to the whole new level. You should give it a try. You can order BLENDABELLA mushroom blend on line (I have a direct link to their website in the post). You can use BLENDABELLA in many different recipes. Oh, so good! I cannot get enough of it. 😀
