Steam-Baked mixed Veggies
This is really quick, easy and delicious. A recipe from my grandmother. The juices of the vegetables mixed with the bit of cheese is just wonderful.

1 zucchini quartered lengthwise then sliced
1 tray of button mushrooms halved
1 green pepper cut to bite size pieces
6-8 cherry tomatoes halved
onion chunks - how ever much you want
1 T minced shallot (optional)
4T evoo - extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
sprinkle of onion and garlic powder
sprinkle of Italian seasoning
A few handfuls of shredded cheese (however much you want)

Put everything in a 9x13 pan, mix it all together except for the cheese. Sprinkle the cheese and cover with foil. Bake @ preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. You want them to be done, but not mushy.

I forgot the eggplant! Supposed to be one Japanese eggplant as well.

And if you are a cheese fan, you can certainly top the burgers with with some cheese of choice. We just had them and used harvati. Really good.
