Method
Heat grill to low, or turn on your oven broiler.
Spray both sides of zucchini slices with oil spray.
Season each slice with salt and pepper to taste.
Place zucchini slices on a flat pan, or on a sprayed grill grate. (Spray the grill grate before lighting grill!)

Continue to broil or grill for an additional 1-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cheese!
Serve.
