This bruschetta calls for fresh oregano however feel free to sub this for fresh basil if you prefer.
Perfect as a snack or as a lunch accompanied by avocado salad.

Slice the garlic in half and crush slightly to release the flavors. Rub the garlic halves firmly all over the surface of the broiled zucchini to flavor.Step 5

Scatter with fresh oregano to serve.

Enjoyed it! I added some shredded mozzarella after I took out the zucchini. I then added the tomato mixture but used fresh basil instead of oregano and put crumbled up fresh bacon on top. Delicious if you fast in the morning and need to make up some carbs and fat!
