Tips

Make your zucchini slice Lorraine vegetarian-friendly by leaving out the bacon.

Instead of bacon, use ham, sausage, prosciutto, or other cured meats in your zucchini slice Lorraine.

If desired, garnish your zucchini Lorraine with some fresh chopped herbs. Parsley, dill, and rosemary are tasty options. Dried herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning would be delicious as well.
