It was such a small amount of cheese and tuna, but more than enough. I placed the zucchini on top of a bed of shredded lettuce drizzled with some olive oil. Made a delicious lunch.

Delicious! Took a little longer to broil the zucchini so next time might use air fryer.

Great idea with the air fryer. I’m going to try that!

I mixed a little Italian seasoning in the tuna and put a little Roma tomato topped with mozzarella cheese and it was amazing!!! Such a great idea.

These where so tasty. I changed out the regular tuna for chipotle tuna added a nice zing to the recipe. Also add 1 oz of grated cheese as I love my cheese. Will make again.

Question: Are the 2 zucchini slices considered 1 serving or 2 servings?
Anonymous 5 years ago
Recipe says this makes 2 servings... So I interpret that 1 slice is 1 serving

I enjoyed this recipe very much.. The making of the crepes, not so much! Lol I had to remake the crepes mixture because they kept calling apart. But the taste was there, I'll just have to make it again! 😂😂
