Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter

3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Add zucchini slices and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the zucchini.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Use yellow squash for a colorful variation.
For extra richness, add a splash of cream before topping with cheese.
This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or crusty bread.
