Cut 4 slices from the zucchini, lengthwise, 1/8 inch thick (3mm). Use the small amount of olive oil to lightly coat each slice of eggplant an zucchini. Use a broiler or a large griddle to cook the vegetables (about 4 to 5 minutes per side for the eggplant and about 2 to 3 minutes per side fo the zucchini), until lighly golden. Transfer to a plate and let cool. STEP #2 - OVEN and STUFFING Spray individual non-metal casserole dishes or a 1-quart casserole lightly, bottom and sides. Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 400F/200C. Mix the stuffing ingredients in a bowl, including the salt and pepper, unti blended. STEP #3 - The ROLLATINI are folded into thirds to envelope a log of stuffin On the cutting board, lay 1 eggplant slice flat with a long side toward you. Place 1 zucchini slice on top of it.
