Preparation

Melt butter in large non-stick frying pan. Add mushrooms, zucchini, onion and garlic. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender and any liquid has evaporated. Blend in flour.

Arranged covered bread slices in egg mixture in an overlapping circular or rectangular pattern; sprinkle with Canadian Parmesan cheese.
