Ingredients
- Zucchini, sliced into rounds or quartered rounds
- Tomatoes, sliced into rounds or quartered rounds
- Onion, sliced and diced into small strips
- Mozzarella or cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions
- Working with whatever size pan you would like, arrange a layer of zucchini pieces on the bottom of the pan.
- Place the tomato pieces on top of the zucchini and then sprinkle some diced onion over the top.
- Sprinkle the onion layer with grated cheese.
- Repeat the layers once or more.
- Top the layered veggies with grated parmesan cheese.
