4. Place one half of the muffin, bottom down into the muffin tin. Repeat to fill all muffin holes.
5. Begin to layer the ingredients on top of the base of each muffin, starting with a slice of mozzarella, followed by the capsicum ring, the softened zucchini, tomatoes another slice of mozzarella and finish with the uncooked zucchini.
6. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top followed by some salt and cracked pepper.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 Minutes until the zucchini starts colour.
