Tomato & Zucchini Bake

I was flipping through a magazine and saw a recipe for something with tomato and zucchini. I took a spin off this recipe and made something of my own. This bake reminded me of open face sandwiches. When we were younger, my mom would make us open face sandwiches A LOT! They consisted of a piece of hearty toast baked with cheese, tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper.  It was a nice crispy sandwich you would eat with a fork and knife and we loved it! Here is the recipe for Tomato & Zucchini Bake…

Ingredients:

• 1 medium size zucchini cut into rounds
• 3 plum tomatoes cut into rounds
• 1 bunch green onions, white and light green parts only
• 1/2 cup millet, cooked
• 2 cups collard greens
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 ounces cream cheese cut in cubes
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
