For best results, use high-quality cream cheese. Its flavor will shine through in the finished dish. Don't overcrowd the pan! If necessary, cook the zucchini in batches to ensure even browning. Feel free to experiment with other herbs! Fresh basil, thyme, or parsley would also be delicious additions. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can further brighten the flavors. Serve this dish as a side, or enjoy it as a light vegetarian meal over pasta or rice.
