The Inspiration for the Recipe
Over the holidays, my mom always made fried zucchini that acts an appetizer and snack before and after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. In an effort to be more healthy she stopped breading them and started baking them instead. They are still yummy, but it just is not the same. This recipe was inspired by an effort to make the zucchinis delicious again. I made an easy zucchini appetizer that looks more like mini zucchini pizza appetizers with sliced goat cheese from Whole Foods and cherry tomatoes.

How to Make them Ahead of Time
You will save a lot of time if you do the food prep ahead of time. Then, all you have to do is preheat the oven and bake them.
So slice the zucchini, goat cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Keep them in individual zippered bags or plastic containers with a lid.
Goat Cheese Replacement
I discovered that the goat cheese melts perfectly on the zucchini. It also has a really deep flavor that brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes.
But if you don’t like goat cheese or just want a different kind of cheese, here are the other kinds you can try:
- Mozzarella
- Muenster
- Brie
