Cheesy Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 2 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter, diced
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high heat setting of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Fill a large container with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add sliced zucchini and cook until it becomes soft, approximately 15 minutes; drain excess water. Remove the flesh of the zucchini to create a hollowed-out shape.
3
In a separate bowl, blend together the zucchini flesh, bread crumbs, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, fresh parsley, salt, beaten eggs, and most of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stuff the hollowed-out zucchini with this mixture.
4
Dot the tops of the stuffed zucchini boats with small pieces of butter and sprinkle with a generous amount of remaining Parmesan cheese.
5
Bake the stuffed zucchini in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing it to cook thoroughly.
