Zucchini A Gratin

I made this earlier in the week and forgot to post. Served with a blood orange and citrus marinaded chicken.

5 zucchini sliced on the diagonal 1/2" thick
1 cup plain panko bread crumbs
4 cloves garlic minced
1 sprig Rosemary (from my yard) chopped
2 tbls Italian parsley chopped
2 tbls fresh basil chopped
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 cup feta cheese
Olive oil
salt and pepper
Oven at 350. Mix together all of the topping ingredients except oil and salt and pepper. Place zucchini slices in a circular pattern in round glass pie plate. Sprinkle 1st layer with a pinch of salt/pepper and half of the topping mixture. Add a touch of olive oil over the top and then proceed to second layer. Top with the rest of the topping and a bit more oil to moisten. Cook for approx 20 minutes until zucchini is soft and topping is browned. I made this a day ahead, refrigerated and just cooked it the night we ate it. It will actually hold in the refrigerator ahead of time for a couple of days so it's a great do ahead" side dish. Ciao Bella!
