Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini (20 to 24 oz. total)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 8-inch baguette, cut into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices

  • Ground black pepper

  • 4 ounce goat cheese, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise; brush cut sides with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Sprinkle with za'atar and 1/2 tsp. salt. Brush remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil on both sides of baguette slices; sprinkle with ground black pepper.

  3. Slice zucchini into 2-inch-thick half moons. Spread baguette slices with goat cheese; top with zucchini. If desired, sprinkle with chives. Serves 6.
