Zucchini and Tomato Stacks image

I learned this at a French cuisine class. The French chef's delicate hands made the creation of this dish wonderful to watch and of course wonderful to taste. In the oven, he put the baking sheet of tomato stacks under a rack of lamb (see my other recipe page) baking above, to catch the juices. That was a trick I'm sure to follow.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used roasted red peppers instead. They turned out great!

These stacks were delicious, but they were a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I'll make them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stacks fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These zucchini and tomato stacks were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and herbs next time.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I loved these stacks. The tomatoes and mozzarella cheese really balanced out the flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.

These stacks are the perfect summer appetizer. They're light and refreshing, and they look so pretty on a platter. I can't wait to make them again for my next party.

I was short on time, so I used pre-shredded zucchini and diced tomatoes. It still turned out great! I'm so glad I didn't have to miss out on this delicious dish.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I added some crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkle of oregano, and it took the dish to a whole new level. Yum!
