1 Tb butter
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or sliced
4 small or 3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1-1/2 c gluten-free breadcrumbs
3 eggs (or 6 egg whites), whisked together

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
2 tomatoes, sliced thin

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium pan, heat butter over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; saute for 5 minutes.
3. Add zucchini, and continue to cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring gently to prevent burning.
4. Transfer zucchini mixture to pie plate or casserole dish, mixing in breadcrumbs.
5. Whisk together parmesan, eggs, and seasonings. Pour over zucchini mixture, spreading flat.
