This was a good recipe, but I would have liked it more if there was more zucchini. I also think it would be better with a different type of cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The zucchini is cooked perfectly and the cheese is melted and bubbly. I love the addition of bread crumbs, which gives the bake a nice crunchy texture.
