  4. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each zucchini slice.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, firm zucchini.
  • You can adjust the amount of pesto and cream cheese to your preference.
  • If you don’t have cream cheese, ricotta cheese can be a good substitute.
  • Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh basil leaves if desired.
