Transfer to a plate and let cold.

    4. 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. Gently shape 2 to 3 Tbsp. of the stuffing into a log and place in the center, crosswise. Fold first one end then the other end of the vegetables over the stuffing. Place the rollatini, seam-side down, in the casserole. Repeat for the remaining rollatini.
