It's that time of year and no matter where you live, it's likely someone near you has a garden and if that garden includes zucchini, production is in full swing.
Zucchini is not only the "loaves and fishes" of the vegetable world, but those little squash also go from being miniature to baseball bat size seemingly overnight. The internet, blogs and every food section of every newspaper has a "what to do with too much zucchini" section this time of year. So, I'm going to chime in. We are harvesting Magda summer squash here at the Ranch - pale green, consistently reliable and delicious and the dark green Dunja zucchini, always a favorite. It's hot - it's summer - I'm lazy but busy and someone in the house is always hungry. This very quick to put together dish will assist with the zucchini problem, solve the hungry problem and encourage you to keep McEvoy bruschettas on your pantry shelf. Side note, McEvoy bruschettas can turn into a quick snack or cocktail appetizer with the addition of a baguette slice and some fresh mozzarella, a dip for a chip or a sauce for pasta. More solutions for the hungry problem.Baked Eggs with McEvoy Ranch Cherry Pepper Bruschetta and Zucchini
