Hi JeffnJulie, Thanks for your feedback. I think some different companies make different blends of Italian Herbs, I'll amend the recipe to reduce the quantities (of herbs & parmesan) according to preference
Happy cooking!

The quinoa and zucchini combination was really yummy, the kids devouered it. I didnt have parmasan so I just used regular tasty cheese. The only thing I would do differently next time is probably add an egg as it was a bit crumbly but that was it.
We quite liked this zucchini slice particularly with the quinoa. I thought the flavour of the parmesan and the Italian herbs was a bit too strong for the zucchini so I'll make again with a mixture of cheeses and with reduced mixed herbs. Thank you for the recipe.
