    next time… a sprinkle of salt and a hint of balsamic make tomatoes sing. I’d say throw in olive oil, but maybe the mozz is enough fat to do the job.

    One of my favorite meals/snacks: sourdough baguette cut into small rounds with a sauce (mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, a lot of basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and some oregano), tomato, zucchini, mozzarella cheese baked until cheese is browned. So delicious, especially if you use fresh basil and garlic and let the sauce sit in the fridge for a few hours beforehand

      Sorry do you apply the sauce before baking? You cool it down so it doesn’t get destroyed by heat?

        Yep I put it on before baking! You don’t have to refrigerate before baking, it just helps the flavors come together in the sauce more if you give it an hour or two and you don’t want to leave mayonnaise at room temp for that long. It’s perfectly okay to mix the sauce then immediately bake them. They form little open faced sandwiches that go bread > sauce > tomato > zucchini> mozzarella so the sauce doesn’t have much exposure to the air anyway and has the tomato juices to help keep it from drying out
