- Mix zucchini, egg, and 1/2 ounce of mozzarella cheese. Press tightly into the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While zucchini is baking, mix tomato sauce, garlic and oregano. Set aside.
- Add cooking spray to a sauté pan over medium heat. Lightly sauté mushrooms, green peppers, and tomatoes.
- After zucchini is baked, spread tomato sauce on top of zucchini. Add sautéed vegetables and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly. Let cool, then cut into 6 equal pieces and serve.

In the end, it was really tasty. To tell the truth, I'm over all of the bread in my life. I loved the idea of using that throw-away layer to provide nutrition instead of empty bland carbs and calories.
