Steps
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin slices. Arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, make 3 groups, each group formed by 3 slices placed side by side and slightly overlapping.
Fill each zucchini rectangle. On each “strip” add salt, grated Parmesan (use a coarse grater), provola cut into pieces, breadcrumbs and a drizzle of oil.

When they are warm/cool, fill with mozzarella, sliced avocado and speck, sandwich the rectangles together and if you prefer, return to the hot oven for a few minutes.
