GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter both sides of each piece of bread with the softened butter and arrange on 2 baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, about 15 minutes.
• Line the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 6 slices of toasted bread and toss together the Cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl. Sprinkle the toast evenly with about 1 cup of the cheese mixture and a third of the scallions, then sprinkle with a few grinds of the pepper. Repeat this process with another layer of 6 slices of toast, 1 cup of cheese, a third of the scallions and black pepper. Add the final pieces of toast on top.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the tomato soup, milk and eggs until smooth and well-combined. Pour the tomato soup mixture over the casserole evenly so all of the toast is coated and covered. Finish off the top with the remaining cheese and scallions.
• Bake the lasagna until the sides are bubbling and the top is browned in spots, about 35 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI LASAGNA

Steps:

• First, wash the skins on your zucchini really well to remove any excess dirt; then cut off both ends. Cut the zucchini in half horizontally; then stand it up on it's side and slice it in 1/2-inch slices vertically. Repeat for both zucchini.
• Next, preheat your grill. (You can use either an outdoor or your indoor grill; which is what I used for this recipe. If using an indoor grill, spray the top and bottom grates with cooking spray.)Grill your zucchini until there are grill marks on both sides; approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Try not to cook it too long as you don't want them to be too mushy.
• While the zucchini is grilling, you can make the cheese mixture by combining the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, parsley, basil and some of the Mozzarella cheese. Mix will until the cheese is smooth.
• Once your zucchini is grilled, it's time to assemble the lasagna. First, place some of the sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. (For this recipe, I used a 8x8x2 oven safe baking dish.) Next, place half of your grilled zucchini on top of the sauce.After the zucchini is in the pan, top it with half of the ricotta cheese mixture and some Mozzarella cheese. Repeat sauce, zucchini, ricotta cheese mixture for the second layer, but add the remaining Mozzarella cheese on top and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.
• Finally, place the casserole dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling hot.
