Lovely way to serve Zucchini,its nice to able to prepare in advance so you can just pop it in the oven.I did substitute the green pepper for Red and half the chedder for a blue cheese(alocal on e here in S.Africa)just for a variation.

Very savory! I cut this recipe in half and baked it in an 8x8 dish, no problem. I used both fresh green and yellow peppers. (which normally I don't eat peppers at all!) I loved the flavors...but do eat it right from the oven; it didn't reheat well. (was mushy)

Great recipe! My husband isn't a huge zucchini fan yet he ate 1/4 of a pan of this! Will be making this often!
