We really enjoy this during zucchini season. My family named it when I first made and served it. It is easily done in one skillet and can be served as soup (with the juices) or main dish as it includes meat and veggies. When I lived in Texas, I included okra as one of the vegetables.

This recipe is very similar to one that my grandmother used to make. I'm going to have to try it and see how it compares.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be too bland.

I love that this recipe uses zucchini, which is a healthy and versatile vegetable. It's also a great way to get kids to eat their veggies.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I've made Zucchini Surprise several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up zucchini from the garden, and it's so easy to make.

Zucchini Surprise was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors of the zucchini, cheese, and herbs blended perfectly, and the crispy breadcrumb topping added a nice textural contrast.
