2 large Eggs
8 oz. Mozzarella (shredded)

  6. Layer the zucchini slices, and spread over them one-third of the marinara sauce, followed by the rest of bell peppers and onions, and the third of mozzarella.
  7. Layer the eggplant slices, and spread over them the last third of marinara sauce followed by mozzarella. Sprinkle with half of the cup parmesan.
